James Selman, Fred Handel and Bill Alcorn leading the posse for the roll out just past dawn - what a day on the bike! 7/02

An East Coast Original that ran 1991, 92 and 93.

The Wilderness 101 was put on by Jim Bryant a proud member of the Millheim, PA community and Randy Moore the previous owner of the Bicycle Shop in State College, PA. The event was run in conjunction with the already popular Coburn XC races. The event was a huge success because of the magic those gentleman were able to work; Jim with his community wide connections, and Randy with the industry specific connections. Over the winter I talked with Jim and Randy about continuing the event and they were both excited to hear that is was going to happen again. We have joined forces with the State College cycling crew and the Nittany Mountain Bike Association to assist with the event. The 2001 event saw the return of State College native James Kelly who did the original event at the age of 18.
