History

The Lost in the Rocks and Trees mountain bike race has been an ongoing community event for the last 13 years. In it’s current configuration, it takes place on the Voyageur Multi-Use Trail System, outside of the town of Mattawa Ontario. There are two courses, one measuring 60 km, the other 110 km (approximately). This is not a course for the weak at heart. The Lost in the Rocks and Trees will take you back to the beginning of Mountain Biking – when groomed trails did not exist. From retired logging roads, to rock strewn climbs (and descents), soft sand and puddles that are ‘surprisingly’ deep, the sheer distance and incredible terrain of the Canadian Shield will wear you down. Some riders don’t finish…MANY bike parts (and some bikes) don’t finish…and that’s part of what makes it Ontario’s Toughest Mountain Bike Race.
