Harpoon-Topeak MTB Adventure, Cyclocross Race and EFTA Championship Landmine
Classic @ Wompatuck State Park, Sept. 10-11
The penultimate Harpoon-Topeak ride, presented by Dirt Rag Magazine, will
offer a smorgasborg of riding and racing fun. On Saturday, Harpoon-Topeak
riders will enjoy riding the EFTA Championship race cource, with additional
hero sections thrown in! After the ride, come spectate or try your hand at
a Cyclocross race. The riding is fast and furious, and since the course is
short and ridden with multiple laps, it's great for seeing all the action.
In the evening, hardcore riders can put on their night riding gear and take
part in an expert level 30-mile night ride epic.
Come back on Sunday for the Landmine Classic, the Championship EFTA race,
promoted as a NEMBA benefit by Bikebarn. There is even free camping

Attend a NEMBA Trail Care Day Near You!
Mountain bikers giving back to the trails they ride is key to our success in
protecting our access. The hidden truth is that these events are full of
fun, camaraderie and personal reward. We guarantee that you'll never ride a
section of trail the same once you've worked to improve it. Since all the
events are led by trail experts, you don't need any experience to attend.
You'll learn a lot, meet new friends, and feel satisfied that you're part of
the solution. If you've never been to one of our events before, check one
out before the season's over.
