Mason City, Iowa (RI) — The inaugural Prairie Rock Trails Bike Festival opens Friday in Mason City, capping off with the official opening of the Prairie Rock Trails Bike Park.
The new park is a world-class facility featuring wood boardwalks, jumps, and multiple single-track routes for riders of varying ages and skill levels.
Brian Pauly, Mason City’s director of parks and recreation, says professional cyclists will compete through the weekend.
Pauly says the weekend will mark the completion of the bike park’s professionally-crafted terrain, including flowing lines, technical elements, a kid-friendly pump track, and progressive jump features.
The park is located adjacent to the Lime Creek Conservation Area and connects riders to more than 20 miles of trails and 600 acres of scenic parkland.
The weekend also features group rides for intermediate to advanced riders, along with a women’s clinic designed for beginners and first-time mountain bikers.
