XC MTB Racing for 2023 ......... June 11, July 16, July 30, Aug 13
TOO much snow, so we needed to change our schedule (effective March 2023)
All races for 2023 are on Sundays. DOUBLE points for series final – Sunday, Aug. 13th – Will count 3 of 4 races for overall award, with a minimum of 2 events attended & you must attend the finals on Aug. 13th.
PRE-riding will be available on Saturdays, prior to each race, with the “course of the day” to be marked the weekend before each race. Reminder, NO pre-riding on race days. Warm up at Snow Valley’s parking lot at the west end before the race.
Don’t forget….each race is an individual event for awards.
NO food trucks this year. We will have some food options, but are hoping our racers will support Snow Valley's concessions at the Hide-Away Grill, for allowing us to use their parking lot again. OR bring your own & picnic in the base area.
NO LICENSE is required to race any of our events this season again.
