The West Yellowstone Ski Education Foundation (WYSEF) will host a Mountain Bike Biathlon on the Rendezvous Ski Trails on June 26, 2010.  This unique event combines mountain biking and target shooting.  Racers will complete five laps totaling 12.5k and four shooting bouts.  All athletes are welcome to participate and no shooting experience is required.  Prizes will be awarded to the top finishers.  A traditional summer biathlon clinic (running and shooting) takes place on Sunday, June 27 and features shooting techniques, racing strategies, and a time trial.  Pre-registration is required.  Forms and more information can be found online at www.rendezvousskitrails.com/events
