Hi,
My 15 year old son would like to race at the 4 June meet. He is interested in off road or Mountain bike racing. I went ahead and joined your organization.
Do we just show up at the race or do we need to make prior arrangements. Is it to late in the season to start? I understand the race is at Keystone Canyon. Under the directions it says go to Hoge Road, take to end, continue on dirt. How long do we go down the dirt road approxiamtely. Are their any landmarks to look for?
Is a mountain bike what everyone one will be using on the off road racing?
Thanks,
Janet Sundell

Janet, just show up at the race. You’ll want to arrive at least 30 minutes before the race to register. The race is free for juniors. You’ll need a mountain bike and bike helmet. You’ll also need to fill out a race waiver, the link is below. The dirt is only a couple of hundred yards. You’ll be able to see the registration area. Good luck to your son.
