OMBC Series Season Opener

MO Gritty 50 kicks off the OMBC Point Series with a NEW gravel event covering both a 50-mile and a shorter 30-mile loop through Mohican Country. Beginning and ending at Mohican Adventures, Gritty 50/30 rolls through the hills of the Mohican-Memorial State Forest, introducing riders to current and historic gravel and paved routes from the Mohican MTB100 plus short stretches of relatively easy singletrack/doubletrack dispersed throughout to keep you guessing about whether to use your gravel bike or your mountain bike.

Featuring Great Lakes Brewing Craft Brews free to all registered racers of legal age

All racers earn OMBC Series Points: OMBC Series points will be awarded based on overall placing in either the Gritty 50- or 30-mile races.
