Timed Ride - St. Charles County Epic Mountain Bike Event hosted by Trailnet

*EVENT UPDATE* From Trailnet:

Upon inspection, the warmer weather is thawing the Matson and Lost Valley trails causing them to be inadequate for bicycling. The competitive race option will not be available for the Epic Event. However, you can still join us on Saturday for the fun ride option, 14 miles on the Katy and Hamburg trails, and utilizing Great Rivers Greenway connector. If you registered for the competitive race option, watch for an email and join us on Saturday for the fun ride with sunny skies and warmer temps!
