BEAR BROOK BLAST-OFF   

NECS #2  race for a smile

SUNDAY

MAY 31, 2009

 
 

With varied terrain and miles of single track, Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown, New Hampshire is a prime mountain biking destination.  It’s also a great place for a mountain bike race.   The Blast-Off will have something for everyone -  lots of fantastic single track to test your skills, plus fast double track and roads for letting it rip.   Due to course conditions, the venue IS NOW A LAP COURSE.  A good portion of the course will look the same with some new surprises.  Novice/ Open short course racers will do one 14-mile lap; Sport/ Expert/ Cruiser Course racers will do two laps for approximately 25 miles.  Elites will do two or laps depending on weather, course conditions and racer inclination.

Try to make some time to explore or to camp at Bear Brook State Park.  With over 10,000 acres, it is the largest developed state park in New Hampshire   and has plenty to do and see for everyone. Hiking, biking, swimming and fishing are a few of the favorites. Forty miles of trails through the heavily forested park, leading to seldom visited marshes, bogs, summits and ponds, offer a variety of options for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians. Canoe rentals are available Catamount Ponds.  For more information on camping or other activities at Bear Brook click on the following link:
