Pennsylvania joined the list of states hosting multi-day mountain bike stage races with the inaugural Trans-Sylvania Mountain Bike Epic, a seven-day race through the mountains of central Pennsylvania, to be held from May 30 through June 5, 2010, in and around State College, Pennsylvania. The race will feature plenty of singletrack and showcase central Pennsylvania's off-road riding.
