Last year , we raised enough for 25 bikes, there were 46 riders and 23 finishers, ranging from 14 years old to...ahh slightly older than that

Formerly known as the Ironbutt 100, One Lap of Memphis will tie all the mountain bike trails together that the Memphis area has to offer. Please remember, it's not a competition, it's merely an exhibition of stupidity

Entry info:

For 2012 entry fees will be slightly higher, but the entry fee will go to a charity, 88bikes. Check it out, your entry fee will buy half a bike for a kid in Uganda, Columbia, Mozambique or another needy country. Pre entry this year is 65 bucks, $44.00 buys half a bike ($109.00 to donate a whole bike so the kids don't cry when the half bike shows up) the other $21.00 almost covers food, beer and shirts. Preentry only; PayPal $65.00 to onelapofmemphis@gmail.com, (do it as a gift so more of the money will go to 88 bikes) include your name and address in an email also.

The Route:

This will be traditional direction for the One Lap of Memphis, After starting at 7:00 sharp we will head to Stanky Creek. After and easy ride at "The Stank" it’s only five miles to Jackson Ave and the start of the Wolf River Trails, after a quick movie at the Summer Twin, we are back on singletrack headed to Shelby Farms. Now that everyone is on familiar trails it’s time for the dreaded Tour de Wolf lap, then back on the WRT all the way to Gray's Creek, Houston Levee and on to Collierville Arlington. Five hilly miles later it's time for some grub and a lap of the 155 mile long Herb Parson’s trail. Fifteen fun filled miles later it's time for the relaxing three mile Lakeland’s Harvester Park trails, after a few intervals it’s an easy three mile ride back to frappuccino, spaghetti and all the beer you care to drink
