New for 2014 – The Hardwood SingleTrack Challenge will be a dedicated and “secret” 25km loop using the famously popular trails at Hardwood Ski and Bike. The “secret” will be that we are completely mixing up all the trails, changing direction, order, features and anything else to make sure this is a unique riding and racing experience. For those very familiar with the trails, or those new to Hardwood, the 25 km loop promises to be something completely different as well as fun, fast, flowy and yes, even a bit challenging.
The SingleTrack Challenge is personal challenge to ride or race 25km (1 loop), or 50km (2 loops) of the new course.
