The race course is a
nine mile single track loop at
Chickasaw Trace County Park,
1415 New Hwy 7, Columbia, TN.
The 16th
Annual on March 27, 2011 experienced a big drop with only 93 racers. The
rain threat was small; the trails were a little slick. We were not included
in Gone Riding’s SERC series this year. Vicki Mackzum scored the race.
Duane Leach took over as director. The course started in front of the
cabin, took the steep hill toward the convenience center and entered into
the woods at the nearby graveyard sign. Nathan Guerra of Oconomoc,
Wisconsin prevailed in the men’s pro race by 16 seconds over Cory Rimmer of
Friendship, TN. Kiersta Tucker of Custer, KY was the lone racer among Cat 1
women. Results are at

The 15th Annual
on March 28, 2010 was another mudfest. The rain came down relentlessly the
night before the race and the trails were even muddier than the 2008 race.
Racers were covered in mud. There were 191 in attendance which was the
lowest in six years. Thomas Turner of Canton, Georgia topped the pro men’s
race with a time of 2:16:24. He finished 5 minutes ahead of second place,
Seth Kemp, and 7 ½ minutes ahead of third place, Alex Ryan. Turner was the
winner of this race in 2007 as well. Kim Flynn of Chattanooga prevailed by
2 ½ minutes over teammate Anina Aaron of Oak Ridge, NC, in the pro/Cat 1
women’s race. Results are at
Gone Riding.

Our 14th annual event held
on March 29, 2009 had some rain leading up to the event, but race day was
dry, windy and cold. The trails were good with only a few wet spots, but
attendance of 281 racers was below expectations. The race returned to being
a Gone-Riding SERC series event after a one-year absence. Due to a new
under-the-bridge trail section, the start and finished changed and excluded
the paved road and steep downhill. The course measured 9.3-miles. Riding a
29” bike, Sam Koerber of Ashville, NC won the pro race by over 3 minutes
over Greg Lewis and Thomas Turner. World Champion 45-year-old Shelly Allen
of Pinellas Park, FL won the women’s Pro/Cat 1 race by over two minutes over
Kim Flynn. Results are at
Gone-Riding.

Our 13th annual event on
March 30, 2008 was preceded by an unlucky downpour of rain on Saturday. It
prevented pre-riding and discouraged many from coming. We had 252 riders
and only 3 in the kid's race. The weather for race day was pleasant, but
the trails were slick and muddy. Andy Johnston won the pro race and earned
$500. Sixteen-year-old Seth Kemp of Campobello, SC, finished a fraction of
a second behind according to the chip time on the ankle. Amanda Sprout of
Columbus, OH, topped the Pro/Expert Women's race by four minutes. Results

Our 12th annual event held
on March 25, 2007, brought 365 racers plus 17 in the free kid’s race. This
year we added the Alison Dunlap Junior Olympic Mountain Bike Series to our

races to match this series’ divisions and medals. Thomas Turner of Canton,
Georgia, won the Men’s Pro division by 97 seconds over 2005 winner, Andy
Johnston. Jamie Dinkins of Powell, Tennessee, won by 3 ½ minutes over a
field of 18 combined Pro and Expert women. Results are
