RACE DESCRIPTION: This mostly single-track course carves through the pinewood forest in the 1,000-acre mountain
biking area on Arnold Engineering Development Center Wildlife Management property. The course starts at the lake front
where the riders will travel on the grass to the single track trail across the road. Riders will exit the single track trail and
do the lake loop with lap passing through the feed zone. Each loop is about 5 miles in length. Notable features include the
flowy single track that cuts and winds through the scenic pinewood forest.
The course map is available online here: http://www.tennesseemtb.org/events/races/
