The season’s final XC race is right around the corner, and our INAUGURAL RACE USING DRIFT, THE NEWEST ADDITION TO OUR TRAIL NETWORK!
Also note the earlier start time of 6:15pm.
Here is everything you to know:
GENERAL INFO:
We continue to operate under COVID guidelines for the health and safety of our members. To this end, we are limiting registration, using alternative starting methods, and maintaining social distancing.
For XC#5, we will continue with QUAD STARTS. There will be a 4-rider start box at the start line, and we will send out 4 people at a time with 1-minute gaps between each group, seeded by previous results.
Lambateurs have a separate event. It is a group adventure ride and is not timed. Parents are encouraged to come and ride with the little rippers (must be a club member)
Reminder! If you have a race number plate, you will have the same number and you must bring it with you. If you have an annual trophy from last year, please bring it to the race. If you have a number plate but are not racing, please try to drop it off or send it with someone to return on Wednesday.
