June 14th, 15th, 16th 2013 - Green Bank, West Virginia
Welcome to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's second annual Space Race Rumpus! This unique cycling festival is located at the home of the world's largest steerable telescope, the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, or GBT as we call it around here. The Observatory is located in beautiful Pocahontas County with some of the most scenic roads and trails in the mid-Atlantic. The Space Race Rumpus routes explore both the Observatory's unique property and the surrounding area.
Over the weekend long event you can participate in guided rides--for both mountain and road enthusiasts--and compete on a cyclocross course right next to eight radio telescopes, including the 485-foot tall GBT. There will be rides and races for all ages and levels, as well as cycling clinics and vendors.
