An off-road mountain bike race that is a challenge for all level riders, the 2009 Mt. SAC Fat Tire Classic will be the 19th Annual race held on campus.
Held on the property of Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, the race course sets off over a rolling landscape with two steep climbs and 1/4 mile steep downhill per six-mile loop. Participants ride through two tunnels on mostly packed dirt twice per loop.
