Note from Gary -
Greetings and thanks to all who came out for the Awards Party. At the party, we presented a powerpoint that has been uploaded to our web site. If you get a chance, please go through this presentation so you’re up to date with the MNMBS.
2012 schedule – here are a few updates. First, please note there will be no Border Battle for 2012. WORS has decided to pull the plug on the event, mostly because it’s the least attended event they host. The good news is that we’ve worked with the local KORC folks in River Falls, and will have a Series race at White Tail Ridge for 2012. Another change is that the Freewheel Frolic has been dropped from the schedule, as MORC has decided to move away from hosting a Series race. Instead, we’ll be opening our season in Afton. Fortunately, we’ve been able to add a new race to keep our schedule full. We’ll end the 2012 season with a race in St. Criox Falls, WI, called the St. Criox Valley Woolly.
Guidebook Update - we’ve decided to drop the Racer Guidebook for 2012. Due to steadily increasing costs, we’ve decided to refocus how we make the Guidebook available to our racers. We’ll be moving it to an online platform during the offeason, so look for an announcement later this Spring.
That’s it for now – see you in 2012!
Here are the Podium finishers for the 2011 Race Series.
Reminder _ Series End of Year Awards party - Saturday, November 5th at Quality Bicycle Products from 5:00 - 8:00 PM.
Welcome to High School Mountain Bike Racing in Minnesota!
It’s snowy and cold right now, but it’s a good time to start building your team for the Fall debut of our league. A good place to start is the Advocate Map on our new website. If you click the rotating graphic on the right, you’ll be asked to provide some basic information. Once we update our MN Advocate Map, you’ll be able to find other parents, coaches, and student athletes interested in racing. Click here to visit the site: www.minnesotamtb.org
