| The race course is a nine mile
loop consisting of all of the Chickasaw Trace MTB course along with some
park roads and is located at the Chickasaw Trace
County Park, Columbia, TN.
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. Pictures are at

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 list
of events. We subdivided the junior categories and added additional
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

Our 11th annual event held on March 26,
2006 brought 345 racers plus 12 in the free kid's race. We had 22
racers in the Men's Pro/Semi-Pro Class and we paid a total of $1,072 to
the top half. Michael Simonson from Oxford, Michigan won by 28
seconds over last year's defending champion, Andy Johnston. We had
four Pro/Semi-Pro's among the 14 Expert Women and we paid a total of
$492 to the top eight. Krista Park from Dacula, Georgia won by
almost two minutes. Results are

Our 10th annual event held on March 20,
