Norfolk, NE - August 11 marks the debut of series mountain bike racing in Northeast Nebraska with the inaugural Maskenthine XC Classic, part of the 2007 Nebraska Lottery Psycowpath MTB Series. The venue for this course will be the beautiful Maskenthine.
The Elkhorn Valley Cycling Club powered by Monster is promoting the race and also serves as the course stewards. The trail system was conceptualized in 2005 with the first phase completed in 2006. The second phase of the project was constructed in early 2007 realizing the goal of nearly five miles of continuous singletrack. The trail has a wide variety of terrain ranging from technical drops and off-camber turns to lung-testing climbs to wide-open prairie sections. Several downhill sections slalom through natural and hand-planted pines. Lake Recreation area, just east of Norfolk and north of Stanton.
