Lake Raystown Weekend Info

Quote below was taken from the registration page at BIKE REG

"Come on out and join us in celebrating the grand opening of the trails at Raystown Lake, The Allegrippis Trails. Located at the Army Corps of Engineers Raystown Lake Project, this 32 mile, purpose built, designed for mountain bikes, trail system is unique on the East Coast. Designed and built by IMBA Trail Solutions, these trails are a direct result of a partnership between the Army Corps of Engineers and IMBA started in 2002.
The event weekend includes vendor expos, bike demos, a ribbon cutting and volunteer appreciation lunch, group rides, beer and barbecue. This event is part of the Dirt Rag World Tour and will feature demo bikes from Trek, Cannondale, Scott, and more. The Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew will also be on hand.
Your registration fee covers camping for two nights, evening food and libations on Saturday and light breakfast Sunday. If you only want to come out for the day and ride, there is no charge, but the event weekend is a fundraiser for the Raystown Mountain Bike Association, so please consider chipping in for the cause.
We hope to have an exact schedule for the weekend finalized by April 1st. but rest assured, the event is happening and will be well worth traveling for."

These trails have been described as like riding a roller coaster on a bike, or a pump track on steroids. Check out an early review HERE. There are already about five YAMBA members signed up for the camping weekend. Lets get some more.

There is no fee if you want to just come for the day on Saturday, but they do ask that you sign up so that they have a head count. Also, there will be a free lunch on Saturday. This is being prepared by a separate organization and they ask that you sign up HERE so that again there is a head count.

Skip and I will add more information as we receive it. Feel free to ask any questions in the comment section below and Skip or I will answer as best as we can.
