Racers get underway Saturday at the 24-Hour Challenge, held annually at the Perry Mountain Motorcycle Club at Reynolds Pasture near Maplesville. Competitors tried to record the most laps in a 24-hour time period.
- Ryan Morphew of Cookeville, Tenn. rolls through a checkpoint to complete his team’s first lap of the Challenge.
- Rain on Friday turned much of Reynolds Pasture to mud.
- 2-year-old Bode Couch of Rainbow City rides his own motorcycle.
- Many race attendees take the opportunity to hang out with friends.
- The race began at 10 a.m. Saturday and ended at 10 a.m. Sunday.
- These clean bikes had obviously not yet had their turn to sling some mud.
