This event will be one that is remembered for years to come! This is a great chance to ride Sal Hollow one last time before we turn it over to the horses in August of 2011... It will also be a great opportunity to walk/discuss the new Big Hollow Trail at Mammoth Cave and other future projects nearby! You can make it a one day event or spend the weekend with us! Some of the events will include prize drawings, poker run, night ride, etc. and of course riding all weekend! Since the event will be in the National Park it’s bring your own beverages! This is pretty much a MTB Festival without advertising it as such! Directions to Maple Springs Group Campground: From the North: Take Interstate 65 to Exit 53 (Cave City Exit). Turn right onto KY-70. Follow 70/255 as it becomes the Mammoth Cave Parkway in the park. Follow the Mammoth Cave Parkway and look for sign to go across the Green River Ferry before you get to the Visitor Center. Maple Springs Group Campground is located 6 miles from the Visitor Center and 3 miles north of the Green River Ferry. From the South: Take Interstate 65 to Exit 48 (Park City Exit). Turn left onto KY-255 and follow 255 as it becomes the Park City Road into the park. Follow Park City Road until it joins the Mammoth Cave Parkway; turn left. Follow the Mammoth Cave Parkway and turn left to go across the Green River Ferry before you get to the Visitor Center. Maple Springs Group Campground is located 6 miles from the Visitor Center and 3 miles north of the Green River Ferry. Attachments:
