By walker on 3/19/2007 on walker's blog Do you plan to race this year? If so, POST A COMMENT saying so. If no, POST A COMMENT saying WHY NOT! Racing is one of those things that MTB people just have to do. Imagine the essence of the human spirit wrapped up into two hours of cross country or three minutes of downhill and you'll understand why people are so passionate about racing. As humans, many of us are natural competitors, so why not express the urge - get out and race! If you haven't already noticed, we have an incredible events calendar - check it out here. There are other calendars that might be of importance to you as well: the USA cycling MTB race calendar is here and the Granny Gear 24-hour point series calendar is also here. From beginners to pros, you can find a challenge at one of these venues. |

The big rock candy mountain races

Last weekend the Sugar Mountain resort in North Carolina catered the National Mountain Bike Series' (NMBS) NORBA racers for another tough jaunt through the woods. From a rider's pespective this was a climbing course with 1,500 feet of climbing per 6.6-mile lap. So, it was over the hills they went as the race started with a punishing opening climb up Little Nell. Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski took the top position early in the race and held it throughout. Durangoan Shonny Vanlandingham held strong for another first place finish. ... Is it me or is she getting faster every year! Go Shonny! |
