Just a reminder that this Sunday we are kicking off MTB race season at Skibowl with a full day of short track, downhill and cross country MTB races.

Here is some more info on the short track races.

Start Times and Race Duration :
10:00am - Pro/Elite and Expert - racing for 25' + 1 lap
10:30am - Sport and Singlespeed riders - racing for 25' + 1 lap
11:00am - Beginners and Juniors - racing for 45' + 1 lap (*)
Noon - awards for beginners and juniors.

(*) The Beginner/Junior race is actually a XC and short track MTB race rolled in one. It will be a lot of fun and perfectly suited for riders who have never raced mountain bikes before.

Course:
total distance per lap - 1 mile
total elevation gain per lap - 125 ft.

No late fee!

Location: The short track races take place around Multopor Lodge (Skibowl East). Race registration is at the main parking lot of Skibowl. After you are registered, you can either ride your bike or drive your car to the Multopor area.

We will be done in time with short track races for everyone to witness the start of the XC races at 1pm. The XC start will be one that spectators don't want to miss out on, as it will send XC riders up a steep road right next to the area where downhill MTB racers will be bombing down the mountain. Plenty of action (of different nature) to witness!

The weather forecast for Sunday looks great (partly cloudy, then sunny) and Petr just told me that the trails are in excellent shape (snow is pretty much all gone).

Any question, feel free to contact Petr Kakes at 503-272-0146 or shoot me an e-mail.

Hope to see you on Sunday at the mountain!
