Due to the non-wintery winter weather we have been having, we have decided to reschedule the first installment of the Winter MTB XC Series from this Sunday, January 29th to next Sunday, February 5th.  We have had excessive amounts of rain with temperatures at or above freezing leaving the trails in less than adequate condition to prevent any damage to the trails.  The Cincinnati Off Road Alliance spends many volunteer hours building and maintaining these trails, and it is up to us to follow their guidelines and request for trail use as to not cause long term damage or permanent damage to the trails.

 

We scheduled these races in late January and February in anticipation of sub-freezing temperatures which would mean the trails would be frozen.  This is also why we have the start times for these races set at 8:00 am so that we could be done racing before the trails had any chance of thawing.  We did not expect to have such a mild winter and hope that things change soon.

 

We do hope to get all three races of the series in and have extended online series registration to Friday, February 3, 2012 at noon.
