FOR THE FIRST TIME IN RECORDED HISTORY…
VANILLA IS NOT A STAGE.
(please remain calm.)
That’s right riders… after years of peaceful coexistence with Cumberland’s most dependable descent, the Coaltown course committee has gone completely off script.
This year’s route heads LOWER. WEIRDER. SPICIER.
Introducing: 🌟 TOP OF THE POPS 🌟
making its Coaltown debut and kicking off Stage 1 with fresh dirt, fresh lines, and immediate “wait… where are we?” energy.
2026 COURSE RELEASE:
Stage 1 → Top of the Pops
Stage 2 → Blueprint + Hunky Dory
Stage 3 → Field of Dreams + Blue Collar
Stage 4 → Rhizome + Banzai Express (Givers + Full Send)
Stage 5 → Resurrection (Youth + Cruiser + Giver + Full Send)
Before anyone files a missing persons report:
🗣️ VANILLA IS STILL THERE.
Vanilla diehards…….breathe. You still get your beloved cruise as the connector into Field of Dreams + Blue Collar. Nobody is taking your emotional support trail away.
Whether you’re Youth, Cruiser, Giver, Party Pace, or Full Send… this might be the most unique Coaltown route yet.
📍 Sept 5, 2026
📍 Gravity MTB Garage
🎟️ $80 ($50 Youth)
⏰ Registration closes Sept 2 @ 4PM
Course map is LIVE.
Register before someone talks themselves into adding Vanilla back.
