The following is a brief description from the Yellow Creek Monthly MTB Race #1:
Our races began as a way to introduce more folks to the cross country trail system that circumnavigates Yellow Creek Lake and also as a vehicle to raise funds and increase membership for Friends of Yellow Creek. We continue the race for those same reasons. All proceeds go toward FoYC memberships and payouts. . . .
Our mountain bike trails were proudly created and are consistently maintained by LHORBA, the Laurel Highlands On & Off Road Bicycling Association. Please consider becoming a member to help us continue to develop cycling opportunities throughout the Laurel Highlands region. . . .
Three races are offered:
- EXPERT – a 23-mile loop that includes nearly all of the trails around the lake
- SPORT – a 16-mile out-and-back that takes in the majority of the south shore trails
- NOVICE – an 8-mile out-and-back that consists of segments of Simpson Trail and double-track along the return
Please see the Yellow Creek Monthly MTB Race #1 Event website for more. The group provides updates and details on its Facebook page as well.
