There is a new bridge and fresh paved bike path leading directly from Mohican Adventures to the race start in downtown Loudonville.  

The town of Loudonville is really getting behind our event and offered to block off the main roads so there will be no traffic concerns for racers from the start of the race until racers enter the trails at Mohican Adventures. The race will begin beneath the large MTB100 banner spanning Main Street.

A printable map displays available nearby parking (click here) in church and school parking lots located next to the race start area. The schools restrooms will be open beginning at 5am and several portalets will also be located next to the start area. 

Can you say PREEEEM?!

The first racer to reach the city limits of Loudonville after the race start will receive a $200 reward courtesy of the Loudonville Convention and Visitors Bureau and Kim's Bikes of Loudonville.

Note to racers regarding horses on the Blue trail:
Horses may be traveling along a short section of the Blue Trail from the end of the snowmobile trail, crossing SR97 to CR3234. Although notices have been put up requesting that they avoid this section of trail until 1pm, this is a public horse trail.
If you encounter a horse, YOU MUST, stop and walk your bike or pull your bike off the trail to allow them to pass. Horses often view moving bicycles as predators and can panic, causing a real danger to the rider! Be sure to talk to the horseman as you approach and as they pass since this will help put the horses at ease. If an incident occurs because of your neglect of this rule, you may be disqualified.
