Description
Join the Pack for a fun "throwback" mountain bike challenge. This is a timed "race," but we are calling it a challenge due to the variety of terrain. For those who don't know or can't remember, there was once a ski area at General Butler. Ski Butler was established in 1982 and ran until the late 90s. This route will utilize some of the old ski runs. The area also hosted mountain bike races up until 2000.
The Challenge starts on the pavement and quickly hits mixed terrain with quick, steep ups and downs. Then, you get treated to some single-track and cross-country riding. The route consists of 10-mile loops with a 10-mile, 20-mile, and 30-mile option.
