The Big Bike course is approximately 7.1 miles. The dirt is fairly hard-packed, dry and dusty right now – there has not been any moisture in this area for a while. Gary Vieth is the landowner/promoter and has done an excellent job combining sections of his motorcross track with the surrounding woods. There are many challenges on the course and decisions that riders will have to make along the way. Gary has put areas in that require you to decide if you want to be challenged by a shorter, harder way or a longer, less difficult route (including to endurocross or not) - so look for these and pick your poison.
There are a couple challenging rocky hills to climb and descend and several new tight sections to navigate through the trees while dealing with the rocks. There are a couple fast creek caverns to twist through and then back to the MX to air it out a little. Big fun!
The camping is in a field and there is plenty to go around. Please remember we are all guests on Gary’s land so be respectful and clean up your trash and take it with you. NO FIRES. You may cook on a grill, but do NOT leave it unattended and please FULLY extinguish the ambers when you are done.
Make sure you stay within the mowed and marked track areas. If you stray off the trail there are things in the weeds that will ruin your day!
Spectating should be excellent. The Endurocross section and much of the MX track is visible from the camping area.
The 1 mile long peewee track features a mix of woods and mx sections. Overall, this should be an easy fun track for the peewees. Spectating will be good. You should be able to see most of the course from the MX track.
