The idea of a Blue Lake Bike Party with a cyclocross race in the dead of winter had been brewing for a while before a handful of Blue Lakers made the decision to move forward with it as a benefit for The Friends of the Annie and Mary Rail Trail. The inaugural Mad Scramble Bike Party in February 2019 was a fun and successful endeavor and a repeat in 2020 seemed like a no-brainer. With a break for COVID-19 in 2021 we returned in 2022 and now are gearing up for our 2023 party on Saturday, February 18.

Starting in 2022 the proceeds from the event are shared with The Friends of the Annie and Mary Rail Trail and the City of Blue Lake for the construction of a bike park on Taylor Way.

We look forward to many more years of bike parties in Blue Lake.
