Texas Spending Millions of Dollars On Corridor Upgrades

30th Piney Hills Classic MTB Festival
Dave Bellante | www.tmbra.org
TMBRA is proud to be part of one of the oldest MTB races in the country. The track at Lincoln Parish Park was once raced on by the legends of our sport. I believe it’s the second oldest consecutively run MTB race in the country ( Road Apple Rally in New Mexico is first) This NORBA Nationals course has see the likes of Johnny T, Tinker and Nasty Ned toe the line. Don’t be fooled though, this is not a 90’s course. Over the years, it’s turned into a super flowy trail system with climbs, twists and jumps. There are lots of special activities scheduled to celebrate 30 years at this classic venue. We hope to see you there! http://pineyhillsclassic.com/
