Thanks to Campmor for sponsoring another year of the H2H Series. Race 1 will be at Blue Mountain. Start Training Now. Wink

A few things for next year. We are going to aim to keep the average race times in the following ball park.

Cat 3 / Beginner Average 45 minutes
Cat 2 / Sport Average 1:20
Cat 1 / Expert Open Pro 1:50

The series and our race has tended to lean more towards an endurace event race then a traditional MTB race. We are hoping to attract more beginners and have the event be a little more FUN for a ll involved.

Another change, and this is not final START TIMES......

We are looking to go Cat 2 @ 9:00. Cat 3 @ 10:30. Cat 1 @ 11:30. This could change. Stay Tuned !!!!!

We will have a special SWAG for the first 100 registered. The race will be up on BIKEREG by midweek.

Hope to see you all there.

"Rider Back!"

I bet that's a typo, although it would be AWESOME if the beginners were on an entirely different (and easier) loop that was a bit more kid-friendly. Blue is a killer race course, in every sense of the word.

So who else is in for Sunday? I'm doing cat 2, 35-39. Was riding there monday and tuesday evening, it's a great course. Fast and a good mix of tech and climbing / descending.

Hoping to race yep, haven't ridden a bike since Hopbrook Dam though.

I might look to go ride a few laps on Saturday to take a look at the course.

I was planning to race, but no sure how the weather is going to turn out, and since I've been riding road so much I think I'm softening up and becoming scared of a little rain. Laughing

If I decide to go, I'll also be leaving the city around 9am for the CAT1 start and will have room for 1. I'll confirm tonight.

I'm new around here, so forgive me if this answer is somewhere else. Is this race rain or shine? If not, when would it be called due to weather? Thanks.

Matt if you've got room I'll take a ride up with you on Sunday?

I'm going to head up in the morning for a few laps as I've not ridden there in a while.

Got out for a couple of laps today as I'd not ridden at all since Hopbrook. Tough course, it's going to be brutal if there's a lot of rain falls on the dusty trails turning them to soup.
