Crystal Mountain Resort
Thompsonville, MI
Saturday, October 18, 2008
Endoman Promotions and Crystal Mountain Resort in Thompsonville, Michigan are pleased to present the Third Annual Peak-to-Peak Mountain Bike Classic. This epic event is held in and around the beautiful and gently rolling terrain which surrounds Crystal Mountain and will start and finish right at the resort!
There are a couple of great aspects to this race: first is the venue. The trail system, which includes both Crystal Mountain property and state land, are some of the finest in Michigan. The hardwood and pine forests along with rambling two-tracks and flowing single-track will have you humming as you race. The course is fast and challenging but not so difficult that racers new to the sport won't have a great ride. Plus, the pre- and post-race festivities at the Mountain are sure to be a hit for everyone in the family.
The P2P also serves as a great "warm-up" race to the world famous Iceman Challenge, this year held three weeks later, on November 8th. And, it will give those riders who weren't able to get into the Iceman an opportunity to test themselves one last time for the season.
Then there's the time of year: great temps, beautiful colors – ideal for hearty competition and great family fun. The Clipper chair lift will be running again to view great racing action as the riders scream down the mountainside. And don't forget the Tour de Tykes kid's race held immediately following the big event.
