There will be groups going up both Saturday and Sunday. You can chose to go up for Saturday, Sunday or both.
Saturday we will leave @ 6am from the Graveyard at the corner of Alderman and McCormick and then get back Saturday night at around 8pm.
Sunday we will Leave @6am from the Graveyard at the corner of Alderman and McCormick and then get back Sunday @ 5pm
The trails we will be racing require intermediate to advanced mountain biking skills. If you are comfortable on all of the trails on Ohill then you should be fine.
For first time racers I will be hosting a racing 101 clinic on Wednesday @5pm in the field in front of the graveyard. This skills clinic will go over some basic mtb technique and fill you in what to expect at the race. Look for the other adventure titles “Moutntain Bike Racing 101” and join it.
Club provides: Bike & helmet if you need it, seat in car and gas money
You provide: money for admission, food, water bottles/camelback, Cloths for Sat & Sun and your own bike and helmet if you’ve already got them.
