This Race will not be cancelled. No need to call, write, txt, fb or send a carrier pigeon.             Its ON! Rain or shine.  

The course: The Wilderness features some of the toughest climbing in Ohio, technical rock gardens, and a few crazy descents to help you temporarily forget about the next big climb.

Poached from Spoke Junkies : Features the longest climb in Ohio. On the downhill you will experience some radically cool rock gardens, some killer switchbacks, and a technical, loose, rocky, section that’ll make you wish for a bigger insurance policy. This downhill lasts for a couple of miles and is a blast! Technical bits, rollercoaster style singletrack, long grueling climbs, and bombastic downhills. Highlights include a semi-technical downhill with some light rock gardens and a short, steep climb on an old logging road. The end finishes off with a fun, fast rollercoaster style trail.

Times are: Registration opens at 11:00 am Race Start Time: 1:00pm

Classes: All OMBC race divisions .

Fees: $30 or $25.00 for card carrying OMBA members. Don't forget to bring your card. $10 for novice JH and HS.

Distance: Experts 3 laps, Sport 2 laps, Novice 1 lap along the 9.5 mile course. Womens distance is about a mile shorter per lap than men. There will be a sign designating the split for men and women.

RACERS PLEASE NOTE: This is an early season race and the water is not on yet in the camp. There will be water coolers for racers on race day but please bring your own water as well. There will be a portalet available, however, the camp showers and restrooms are closed and will not be available.

Breaking News! Who needs water when you have Sierra Nevada Pale Ale? OMBC has confirmed rumors that Sierra Nevada, official beer of the OMBC Series, will be making the first appearance of the year at MW! Our recommendation? Train hard between now and then so your not the last racer to finish!
