Vulture's Knob
Website
One of the most recognized cycling venues in the state of Ohio that helped launch and establish the sport of mountain biking. Vulture's Knob consists of 125 acres along the majestic and mighty Killbuck River in the rolling hills of Wooster Ohio. In that 125 acres the Knob currently has a 7 mile Cross-County trail loop inplace, and both a Freeride Area and Downhill course under construction. The Cross-Country portion has a great history with over 100 races run at the Knob including epic 12 hour and 24 hour races, cyclocross, adventure races along with the popular annual cross-country race series. The facilities are open 365 days a year for open riding! This venue has some of the most challenging singletrack and most unique man made outdoor features the area has to offer.
Upon arrival, Dr. Knob simply asks that you head to the pavilion, sign a release form and make a donation to help with the mighty and mounting expenses of a privately owned trail, but most importantly have a good time!

The trail system is routed in such, that its using the land to give you a great workout with added fun of technical aspects.
