Yesterday’s 2026 Edition of the Lost Valley Luau is in the books. That was a wet & wild one ya’ll!
•
Firstly, a huge THANK YOU to the over 150 of you who came out and raced, Volunteered, and/or spectated & encouraged. The energy was unmatched, the vibes were high, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off the upcoming Season of racing & riding.
•
Shoutout to 4 Hands Brewing Company & SBR Bikes & Brews for their continued support of this Race (and so many other opportunities for us to join together as a cycling community).

2026 COURSE UPDATE! 🌿
We’ll be re-routing the course and skipping Phase 1 "The Lower Section" to avoid the wettest sections of trail.
Everything else stays the same — just a small tweak to keep things rolling a little smoother out there.👌
We appreciate everyone’s flexibility — It's springtime; this is just part of the game this time of year. Expect great conditions where it counts and a solid day on the bike.
Let’s roll 🚴♀️🔥 We will see everyone tomorrow morning!!!

Trail Report: The Lost Valley Trail is in near PERFECT conditions going into Sunday’s Race. Honestly, this is the fastest this Trail has been in years and should make for an amazing Season Opener for the STL area’s XC MTB Scene.
