Get ready to rumble because the "Race the Ridge" MTB race is coming back again! This amazing trial system is managed by a core group of junior mountain bikers at the school. They have a tough network of fun and challenging trails. Roots, rocks and elevation changes that you would expect from a course nestled at the base of the Blue Ridge mountains. The school will provide access to water, restrooms and some food.

The Blue Ridge School is located about 30 minutes north of Charlottesville and about 2 hours south of DC. For more info updates on the race and course maps go to the event website at Ride the Ridge MTB Race — RVA Racing Events. For more info on the school or the outdoor program itself check out the school's website at www. blueridgeschool.com
