Allegheny Mountains 400 mile Loop?

[AKSharon]

Does anyone know if the above 400 mile ride is taking place in October this year or who I can contact?  The link seems to be disabled and I can not reach the guy who put it on the site?  Thanks, Sharon

Can't help with the organized group time trail depart...

I'm sure you realize that that route is published by the Adventure Cycling Assoication and is always available to ride.

If you are traveling from Alaska to ride West Virginia and like technical single track... ditch the ACA route and ride the trails!

Adding a post to get this thread on the first page where more easily seen by others.

The AML 400 starts 2 weeks from today!  See Chris Tompkins post for link to see race info.  Last I heard there were around 15 people that were going to do the race this year.  Anyone else interested?  I did it last year (my first ever bikepacking race) and loved it.  Blacksburg, VA is a great place to start/finish and the course is beautiful (great fall foliage in some sections).  It made for a perfect trial run before tackling the Tour Divide this past June.  Similar experience with lots of climbing and long distances between services at times.

Can't wait to do it again this year and it sounds like all the top finishers from last years race are returning.  Should be fun!
