The 2010 Course will give riders 50  miles of dedicated single track, that has earned IMBA Epic status.

Day of event…
Immediately Following The Event: Beverages will be supplied by New Belgium Brewing Company, and Hamburgers and Hot Dogs right off the grill will be served to all riders.

May 21st. & 22nd.

Jack plays guitar for the band as well as an occasional mountain dulcimer, dulci-jo and mandolin. He called Collinsville, Illinois home for many years and is retired from full time social work for the State. Jack is known for being a workshop leader and teacher at various festivals as well as the original organizer of the Great River Road Dulcimer Festival.
Mary grew up in the Chicago suburbs but moved away too long ago to remember. She still works at the Dulcimer Shoppe in Mountain View, Arkansas, home of McSpadden Dulcimers. Mary plays mountain dulcimer, mandolin, dulci-jo and anything else she can get her hands on. She also started singing out when Jack urged her to a number of years ago. Mary has also taught mountain dulcimer at various festivals.
Jack and Mary were full time RVers, living and moving around the country in their motor home with their Pembroke Welsh Corgi named “D”Major (named after the key that the mountain dulcimer is tuned to) They are now residents of Mountain View, AR but still have a small motor home to travel south in the winter.

Details of workshop to come soon! Give us a call if interested 1-800-535-1301.
