June 17, 2012 - Battle of CamRock

Capital Off-Road Pathfinders has worked for years to build CamRock Park into one of the hidden gems of mountain biking in WI and the country. Battle of CamRock is a race that enthusiasts look forward to every year.

The trail system at CamRock is a blend of wide and fast flowing single-track that runs through open fields of prairie grass, wooded single-track with bermed turns, and more technical single-track with a touch of roots and rocks. The Battle of CamRock's course contains some great downhill sections that will have you begging for another lap.

Check it out!
