Mountain bike racers from all over came to Calhoun County Park this weekend for the 8th Annual Appalachian Bike Classic.
It was a beautiful, sunny weekend for the region's mountain bike racers, although parts of the 7.2 trail was rain-soaked, muddy and challenging.
The Classic is a fund-raiser for the Calhoun Park.
