As with all previous WCCX events a portion of the proceeds will benefit two local charities. Quest Therapeutics (www.questtherapeutic.com) is an equestrian facility utilizing horse riding to provide therapy for children with physical and developmental challenges. Our second charity is the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Mountain Bike Association (www.pamtb.org), a grass-roots organization developing high and middle school mountain bike programs in our immediate area.

The BVR is a self supported ride in 2023 and all riders are responsible for their own mechanical support. A feed stop and facilities will be located at approximately mile marker 35, at the historic Whip Tavern (thewhiptavern.com).

Hope you can make it out and please spread the word.
