The Rail Trail Riders - more than 200 years of cycling experience.  You may ask "why are rail-trail riders entering a 24 hour mountain bike race?"  We are riding at Big Bear to raise awareness and support for the 51- miles of the Mon River and Deckers Creek Rail-Trails in north central WV.  Why, because not everyone is able to enjoy (or withstand) the bone-jarring, heart-stopping, lung-popping thrills of mountain biking.  And we all know how great cycling is for our health and well-being.  The Mon River Trails Conservancy's goal is to provide a safe, smooth, relatively flat place to cycle for the non-mountain bikers of the world. Visit www.Montrails.org to learn more.
