Allegrippis Trails at Raystown offer one of PA’s top rated mountain bike destinations. When it was launched, this system changed the way that PA mountain bikers thought of trails. We’re excited to be going back again this fall, bringing this fabulous system into the PICL family of events, yearly.
PICL’s Raystown Radness and PICL Jam will feature the challenging Adventure-style event we’ve come to know and love. Riders, coaches, and teams will group together in different ways to take on the challenge and focus on the fun of coming together at the end of a great season.

What is Raystown Radness and PICL Jam? An adventure-based ride led by PICL coaches focusing on team building, fun, and safety. The objective of the weekend is to have as much fun as possible, and culminate a season full of amazing memories with your team and the PICL community!
Note: There is a great bike park located right next to our home base that offers a variety of features on it that may encourage riders to get their wheels off the ground and to perhaps reach beyond their skill sets. The Allegrippis Skills Park is NOT part of PICL activities for the weekend and any injuries that may occur as a result of riding within the Allegrippis Skills Park are not covered by PICL/NICA insurance. Riding in the park is at your own risk and the parents/guardians of riders assume the risk and responsibility for their riders.

Designed by mountain bikers and built by the International Mountain Bicycling Association, the Allegrippis Trails at Raystown Lake is a premier single-track mountain biking trail system located in the Eastern United States.
The trails in the system were designed and built to provide sustainable trails for a variety of human uses including mountain biking, hiking, trail running, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The Allegrippis Trails are arranged as stacked loops, giving the user the opportunity to plan a route as short or as long as they would like. There are nearly endless combinations, so even riders who come back time after time have the opportunity to use a new route each time.
Although the trails are rated "easiest", "moderate", and "most difficult", they can all be safely traversed by users of all skill levels, but users should expect their normal pace to be slowed as the difficulty increases. The ratings are provided to give all users a good idea of what challenges to expect. These ratings only apply to trails in the Allegrippis Trails system, they should not be compared to other trails or their difficulties.
There’s more than just biking in the Raystown Lake Region. Check out the Huntington County Visitors Bureau website for ideas.

Primitive camping is available in Susquehannock Campground and can be booked through the league through BikeReg here.
Once you’ve reserved on BikeReg, you MUST select your camp site using the spreadsheet provided in BikeReg and include your BikeReg payment confirmation number. If you skip this step, your site selection will be deleted and you'll be assigned a site upon arrival at the event.
Campsites are also available through Raystown Lake. Off-site lodging is also available. Check out Huntington County Visitors Bureau for lodging options.
