2007 Mountain Bike Race Dates

With almost less than 30 days till the first Race, the season is coming quickly... And our wonderful February weather for Central Ohio has made it hard for any quality outdoor training and forced most of us indoors for any kind of work out. Thankfully March is almost here and the Daylight Savings Time change, on March 11th this year, will be a big help on improving our riding weather. Our Race season gets underway on April 1st at Mohican Wilderness, one of the most challenging mountain bike trails in the state. This 9.5-mile loop, is one of the stops of the Ohio Mountain Bike Championship Series. It is spread out over 600 acres of Glacial Valley and features over three hundred feet of elevation and huge glacial rocks and boulders! Mohican Wilderness Mountain Bike Race Course features 90% single-track, about 12-18 inches wide with tight corners, switchbacks, and obstacles such as rock gardens and log bridges that will challenge riders of all skill levels.
