Description

The Scarlet Knight Scramble is back again in 2015 ensuring that Nordic Mountain’s mountain biking history will continue to grow. Nordic Mountain is best known in the mountain bike community for hosting the Subaru Cup over the years its real claim to fame came in 2010 when the Subaru Cup became part of the USA Cycling Pro Cross Country Tour and hosting the Midwest Regional Championship. Nordic Mountain attracted our nation’s best riders (as well as international professionals) to compete, and drew even more spectators who wanted to watch the pros ride.

This year, the Scarlet Knight Scramble mountain bike race is once again being held on the same great course. The course will include many of the great features that drew the pros to the hill year after year. The course will challenge novice as well as advanced riders with its rigorous uphill climbs and demanding twists and turns. The switchbacks make for multiple viewing opportunities, which is a spectator’s dream!

In the summer of 2010, a group of dedicated parents came up with the concept of creating a youth cycling team to serve the Fox River Valley area. From this concept, The Fox Cities Youth Cycling Team – The Scarlet Knights was established with a mission of encouraging children of all ability levels to participate in the sport of cycling and helping them develop into well rounded teenagers and young adults. The team has grown from nine children in its inaugural year to 22 in 2014, with more than 250 entries in cycling races across the state of Wisconsin. In the summer of 2014, the team was asked to take the next step in giving back to our sport by directing a race in the 2014 Wisconsin Off-Road Series. Naturally, the Scarlet Knights were honored by this offer and eagerly accepted this opportunity. They are proud to present the Scarlet Knight Scramble on Sunday, July 12, 2015 at Nordic Mountain in Mt. Morris, WI. It is an event you WON’T want to miss!

Course Description:

This course gives you a bit of everything, with a challenge of mixed climbs, forested single track, fast descents, and rock gardens. All of this combines to challenge the experts, yet simple enough for the beginner. The course is very spectator friendly with easy access to all the action.
