  • The Pain in the Wayne!

    News | Posted May 20, 2013 by Benjie Klimas for West Virginia Mountain Bike Association

    If you didn't hurt a little on this course you just train too dern much. Steep climb after steep climb was sure to make your legs soft, with some crazy steep slick downhills where you saw tracks where someone had already gone off the edge. RVMBA has done a great job building and maintaining these trails. Its great trail organizations like this that provide the awesome trails for our race series. Without them there would be no trails and therefore no races. more...

  • Douthat Causes Cramped Legs and Smoked Brake Pads

    News | Posted May 06, 2013 by Benjie Klimas for West Virginia Mountain Bike Association

    No hazard markings here. You better hold on tight when you make it to the top and start back down. You rail a pencil-thin singletrack perched on the edge of a cliff going 40 mph, then around a turn comes a 180 degree switchback. Hope you have four-piston Hayes, and even then some are not makeable without posting a foot down and forcing the bike to slide around through the switchback. Cramp your legs on the way up, cramp your arms on the way down, this is good fun if you are brave enough. more...
