Organiser's Description
Start your summer weekend by riding some of the newest trails in Northern Virginia at James S. Long Park in Haymarket Virginia. MORE (Mid-Atlantic Off-Road Enthusiasts) volunteers have just finished adding a 1.5 mile stretch of trails to Long Park giving it a great little 4-mile loop and we couldn't think of a better way to start a weekend than with a big group ride.
The MORE trail liaisons for Long Park have plans to add 2 more miles to this trail system and potentially biking features as well, and we want to come together as a community to help fundraise and have a little fun while doing so.
So we're putting on 2 races on a Friday evening to get your Summer weekend started. We'll have a 1-lap race followed by a 2-hour Enduro where riders try to get in as many laps as they can/want within a 2-hour time limit.
