Come join us as we host our 1st mountain bike race in the Illinois Valley. Matthiessen
State Park is a surprisingly hilly, fast course that will provide a
great challenge for racers of all abilities with good areas for spectator viewing
all in a cozy state park atmosphere. We will have a kid's race and
fun fair so bring the family and
enjoy
all that the area has to offer. The race takes place during the Fall Colors Festival
at nearby Starved Rock
State Park,

Racers will find Matthiessen to be one of the most promising and
varied riding areas in the state; fast flowy single-track punctuated
with challenging technical sections, big climbs and open prairie will
truly test a racer's mettle.
