During Event: Any RMBA Member!
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 barbeque. 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.
A note on Camping - Use the "camp spot" on your registration to indicate what group you would like to camp with. For example, if you are a MORE member and want to camp with the club, just put in "MORE" and we will group you all together.
Due to requirements from the Army Corp of Engineers, we do need to assign camp spots, so we can't do it as first come, first serve. If you know of others that you would like to camp with and you don't belong to a club (shame on you), invented groups are just fine. We just need it for space planning. The camping area has over 40 sites and is capable of handling 250 people.
