The epic trail of Council Bluff Lake is your battleground! With approx 13 miles of singletrack, Council Bluff offers a rollercoaster of all that Missouri mountain biking has to offer. The trail follows the contour of a picturesque lake and offers no shortcuts or bail-out roads. Be prepared: hiking many miles with a mechanical or flat is never fun! As it is an endurance race, each team will have a lap or two which may require a lighting system. All 12-hour race teams are required to have one set of bike lights and a secondary source of lighting (i.e., flashlight, cat-eye, Petzel). Lights will need to be with any rider heading out for a lap 1.5 hours (5:00) before official sunset (6:30) and every lap thereafter.
