BIG SPLASH ATTACK<br />Craig Franzen of Highfill rides his bike at break-neck speed into chilly Lee Creek on Saturday April 3 2021 during the Big Splash Contest at the 32nd annual Ozark Mountain Bike Festival at Devil's Den State Park. Contestants got extra points for spashing down in costume and Franzen sported a 3-foot-long fake beard during his run. The festival also featured guided group mountain bike rides for beginner and experienced riders, instructional rides to improve riding technique, bike limbo and a skills course for kids. Riders were also allowed to pedal over some of the new trails in the park that will not officially open for about a month.
