This is a winter training series...grassroots winter time fun!
Designed simply to get you off the trainer and outside with like minded psycho's. Don't expect any UCI points or fancy cx course barriers - you'll get sloppy weather, wood in the stove to melt the ice off your face and plaques for prizes. "uncontrolled & unpredictable in every way"

If you plan on being a jerk like the guy in this video...stay home.
(warning...if your easily offended by potty mouths and bad words...do not watch this video)



Meet at Garage...not the pavilion. Wood burning stove will be churning and burning.
Start will be in front of the garage.

$10.00 entry fee + additional $1.00 for each inch of snow on the ground.

Start time: 1:00

classes/time:
group "A" - 60 minutes
group "B" - 45 minutes
group "C" - 30 minutes

So you'll race for "x" amount of time based on your group. When you hear the horn you'll finish up your current lap and do 1 more "final" lap.

Vulture's Knob

Vulture's Knob is privately owned and maintained by the 331 crew. VKnob consists of 125 acres along the majestic and mighty Killbuck River in the rolling hills of Wooster Ohio. The trail system about 30 miles southwest of Akron and has hosted a full mountain bike race schedule, including night races, a 24 hour race, and an adventure race, "The Knob" is considered the most technical single track in northeastern Ohio. Small painted signs give indication about what to expect around the next turn, with names like Rock Tunnel, Fern Gully, Oh Sh#!, Friar Bryan's Forest, Ant City ...well, you get the idea. Creative and fun. Until you fall down, and you will fall down. It may be over one of the dozen log bridges, or on your way down to the cradle bridge or over the suspension bridge.

Vulture's Knob

Remember...the Vulture helped launch and establish the sport over 15 years ago. However, this has not always been the case; this venue was once a county farmers dump. The 331 Crew has accepted the environmental challenge no one else dared to consider and turned it into a sustainable venture with mountain bike and running trails, a 6 acre mulch and organic food waste facility, and evergreen tree farm with several thousand trees. We aim to continue our efforts to clean and develop this once useless 125 acres.

The established facility contains spacious parking, permanent restrooms and shower facilities, primitive camping areas, a staging area with pavilion at the start finish line that provides the backbone for a network of challenging single track and technical trails. Over 100 races have been run at the Knob including epic 12 hour and 24 hour races, adventure races along with the popular cross-country race series. The facilities are open 365 days a year for open riding and camping. Thousands of people from all over the country visit Vulture's Knob year round, not just to race, but for the daily open riding, it is the most reviewed trail in Ohio according to mountain bike trail review pages.
