The end of the year mountain bike adventure is in the works and is set for Sept 17th. We have an exciting and fast course set up with details of the trail below. We are going to have some baked goods and tons of water for everyone. There are going to be TWO racing options for you depending on how epic you want to take it. One 13.2 mile lap for the short course and Two 13.2 mile laps for the long course.
You can do this!!!! This race will be the final challenge of the year and should be easy for you after a great summer of riding.
