The Jelly Roll
About this race
Eagle Rock Shredders will be hosting The Jelly Roll at Elk City Lake on Sunday, October 4th.
Racers will be racing on the Eagle Rock MTB Trails located at the Elk City State Park. The course is approximately 7-miles in length. The terrain varies from flat and grassy to steep and rocky. Depending on category, racers will be racing 7, 14 or 21 miles.
This race is part of our "2-Days of Bike Awesomeness". Day 1, Saturday, Oct 3rd kicks off with our 3rd annual "Old School BMX Bike Show & Swap", followed up with our famous "Slow Roll" group ride, then finishing the night out with a live band. All of which is free to the public and is held at the Riverside Park & Ralph Mitchell Zoo in Independence, KS.
The Eagle Rock Shredders (ERS) is a small non-profit group that builds and maintains biking and hiking trails. Some of these volunteers can also be found racing competitively across Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas. If you have an interest in becoming an ERS volunteer or want to learn how you can help, come meet them at either event. You can also follow ERS on their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/EagleRockShredders.
