Proceeds of this event will go to supporting trail advocacy groups to keep trails open.
This is a press release from KLIM…
Help KLIM support Off-Road Trail Advocacy Groups, Ride a fun, one-of-a-kind event in KLIM’s Test Lab—the pristine single-track of Idaho.
KLIM takes pride in building riding gear for real off-road riders riding in real off-road conditions. To celebrate the summer riding season, and to support off-road recreation and the advocacy groups that keep our trails open, KLIM is inviting riders to participate in a unique event set in our own backyard—the Big Hole Mountain trail system in the Caribou Targhee National Forest of Southeast Idaho.
This unique one-day event will put riders on some of our favorite local trails, guided by maps and GPS tracks, in search for valuable Cow Tags. Individual riders will be challenged to collect as many or the most challenging (depending on your strategy) Cow Tags as possible for valuable raffle tickets. Those tickets will be used to enter for prize drawings at the end of the event.
Here’s how it works.

Registration opens February 27th, 2017. Fee’s for registration are $85.

Ride:
The goal of the ride is to collect Cow Tag identification numbers posted at various locations in the local riding area. These locations will be shown on the provided Trail Map and GPS tracks. Each rider will be responsible for collecting the Cow Tag number from the locations and taking a picture of themselves with the tag as verification.
Each unique Cow Tag number is worth a different amount of raffle tickets at the end of the day with the closest and less-challenging tags worth fewer tickets than the tags posted at more challenging or more distant locations.
At the end of the day, riders will decide where to invest their tickets based on individual raffles. Raffle winners will be chosen during dinner.
