Twisted Spokes Events

Events 2013

The Laurel Classic Mountain Bike Challenge is a race on the spectacular trails of the Asaph section of the Tioga State Forest in North Central Pennsylvania. Beginners ride 11 miles, while the Sport and Expert classes ride 22 miles (all one big loop -- no multiple laps!) on some of the finest trails to be found anywhere.

This course has it all -- lung-popping climbs, hair-raising descents (including the famous Stinger Trail downhill), creek crossings, log crossings, and loads of absolutely delicious singletrack.

And, of course, the rest of the event is top-notch as well, with great food, drinks, prizes, 100% payback for the Expert field, technical support, emergency medical support, and all the camaraderie you can stand. And, as if that weren't enough already, all pre-registered racers also get a most excellent Laurel Classic T-shirt, courtesy of Mountain Graphics. You don't want to miss this race!
