On May 14th, 2010, a new Mountain Bike race series is coming to the Vail Valley. Six "short track" races will be held at the Eagle County Fairgrounds from 5:30pm-8:00pm on Friday evenings followed by a free keg of beer at the Dusty Boot Steakhouse and Saloon in Eagle. Kids race for 10 minutes at 5:30pm. This will be followed by three catgeory "waves" which will race for 20 minutes each. Entry fee for these races is $10 and you may race the A, B or C flight. Men and women will race together in these flights and this is a grassroots and "chill" scene. EVERYONE is welcome to participate.
What is a short track race? This format consists of a 2-3 minute lap, and racers will race for 17 minutes plus one lap. There will be minimal scoring of these races as this is more for the "interval" work out and FUN. The purpose of this series is to get our cycling sphere out a few times this season with no expectations, and to meet new people and especially get NEW people introduced to our great form of recreation. Come out and ride hard, have fun, cheer for EVERYONE and pat your competitors on the back at the end of the chaos. Then go drink a beer, it's that simple. See you May 14th and stay tuned for more series details right here.
