When the Blacksheep first began in 1998, MTB racing was at the foundation in which it was built on. Fast forward 24 years, and MTB racing is still strong and ready to make the next step in supporting the Blacksheep Community.
This year, the Wednesday Night Race Series presented by Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co. will feature a unique theme at every event. Some themes will include: Enduro, short-track, and a Tour de Shuniah. We’re adding some spice to our calendar and brought back the OG classics, Mud n’Mayhem and Race for the Cheese. All our events will include scheduled pre-ride time, pre-race meeting, podiums, social time, and prizes. Most of this season’s courses have been planned and designed ahead of time and will all be available real soon. We will be sharing that information on the website as well as on our Facebook and Instagram.
We’ve had record highs of participants at our races in 2021, and because of your support and input, we are making some changes! New for 2022, the Sport category will have new Youth (<18) and Adult (18+) divisions. This means that these divisions will have their own podium every race event and their own wave at the start line.
Remember! You, the mountain biker, can make our racing events whatever you want them to be. Whether it’s competing with your buddies, working towards your personal best riding the trails, building your confidence by riding different types of terrain you wouldn’t think to do on your own, or you’re just there to hang, make new friends, and ride your bike, there is something for you.
We are turning up the heat for 2022 and we are sooo stoked to get started!
