Commonwealth Games on tap

the 2007 Commonwealth Mountain bike races are on tap this weekend.

I think these are some of the best events in the state. The Mill Mountain Timetrial is a sweet hill climb up to the Star in Roanoke. And Sunday's Cross country race is one of the best circuits around.

The trails at Carvin's cove are quite fun. What I really like about the course is the variety of it. There is buff single track, fire road, big ring single track, rough/chattery trails, even some logs/drops, some serious climbs and downhills. All just fun and just a great cross section of what makes mountain biking so great.
