Course:

Leave your fancy wheels at home cause it's WV and we got mostly dirt roads in this course, but do not forget your climbing legs, and yes, they can have hair on them too.  We don't judge! If you want to climb your legs off come join us over in West "by god" Virginia for some wicked hard yet truly fun grassroots road racn'!! This course starts and finishes along side the beautiful Cheat River in Rowlesburg. This race course has just about everything a dirt road cyclist could wish for in a bike race:  ridge top views, true back country roads, big climbs and gear pounding flats.
