The Last Miner Riding is a bit of a different format of mountain biking format. At 9:00am everyone starts the 8 mile course (5 mile for Juniors at 9:10). Everyone is allotted 1 hour to complete the first mountain bike loop. Thus, for example if you finish in 45 minutes you rest and recover until the the next lap starts at 10:00 am and you start the 8 mile loop again. It isn’t about how fast you can ride each lap, it’s about how many laps you want to ride. Just a fun day in the woods with a bunch of friends! We will have a top male and top female prize for the Open catagories and the Juniors, but that’s about it.

This is a free event with no frills. The goal of the is to help bring an increased awareness to congenital heart defect (CHD). We are a group of cycling enthusiasts who are using our connections with the cycling community as a way to benefit children and families in need through the FootPrints Program at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital..

We will be accepting donations instead of a paid registration, so any and all donations are appreciated. Throw in a flat donation or go collect from friends and family based on how many laps you think you can get (think of the bike-a-thons we all did as kids). All proceeds go towards helping support families in need.

Bring your own special nutrition and hydration needs (although we may be able to find some tater tots to snack on). As an FYI, St Joe State Park does also have a campground available should you be interested in making a weekend of it. You can find more details about that on their website. https://mostateparks.com/campgrounds/st-joe-state-park
