This is the seventh year that the race will be held in St. Croix Falls on the Woolly Trail Network. The Woolly Bike Club is excited to be partnering with the Minnesota Mountain Bike Series for this years race.

Racers will be thrilled with the variety that they experience in this 6ish mile loop. There is a great mix of fast flowy and tight twisty singletrack that everyone will enjoy, but we also take advantage of some XC ski trails, limestone railroad bed, snowmobile trail and even a little paved bike path. You get lots of variety each lap, so plenty of time make a pass or gap the rider behind you. The Sport, Comp and Expert classes get to ride through a new technical rocky section, which includes several very challenging sections that the last glacier that formed the beautiful St. Croix River Valley left for us to enjoy. Some may just need to practice their cyclocross skills and planning on running a bit with their bike.

The course covers almost 600 verticle feet, but you never realize it all at once. You feel it most in the first section of singletrack, which includes some steep punchy climbes and fast decents, but only one long-ish climb.

Our trail network is located on public and private land, but it is open to ride all year (when conditions allow). We will have the network fully signed by race time, so pre-riding will be available whenever you want to check out the course. If you want a guided tour, we have group rides every Tues at 6 PM from the St. Croix Falls High School parking lot, so you can enjoy it with the group.
