The Wilderness 101 is a 101 mile loop running from the small little town of Coburn, PA into Bald Eagle State Forest on some forest service roads before it heads South into Rothrock State Forest where the course picks up most of its sweet singletrack before returning to Bald Eagle - the old railroad tunnels and the finish!!! The course is maintained by the NVC (Nittney Velo Club). With their hard work and the support from the Rothrock State Forest office 1 new mile of trail was reclaimed from ruins and was added to the event in 2002. Another 2 mile section of super fun trail was added as a result of Lewis "the bandit" Wertz and his cadre of criminals with cool power tools.
