GEORGETOWN, Ky. (LEX 18) — Skullbuster Trails in Georgetown hosted a mountain bike race for the first time Saturday. The trail conditions were perfect, giving it an old-woods feel.
Bluegrass Mountain Cup hosts races across the Commonwealth and works with the Kentucky Mountain Bike Association, or KYMBA, a volunteer-based organization that advocates for roads and trails in Central Kentucky. The KYMB helps provide maintenance that takes a dedicated team of volunteer trail stewards like Steve Colvin, to get the trails into racing condition — which includes weed eating, picking up logs, and anything to help make the trails safe and usable.
The hard work does not go unnoticed. As the president of the KYMBA, Jon Strom, knows, races could not happen without volunteers whom he views as superheroes.
During the races, Colvin and his co-workers proudly showcased the results of their hard work in transforming Skullbuster. Their efforts not only made the race possible but also presented Kentucky's outdoor recreation in a new light.
"I just want to showcase what Georgetown has to offer," said Colvin, emphasizing the significant role volunteers play in making these events successful.
