Winter MTB XC Series #3 NEWS
Mar 3rd
As much as we were hoping a ninja cold front would come through and freeze the trail for us and leave us with sub-freezing temperatures for Sunday’s rescheduled Series Finale Race, it doesn’t look like that is going to happen. Thus, we are saddened to announce that Winter MTB XC Series race (re)scheduled for Sunday, March 4, 2012 is being cancelled with no reschedule date.
HOWEVER, we will be gathering at 9am to present series prizes and thank our sponsors and supporters of the race series. Please be sure to come out and party with us!

Winter MTB XC Series #2 RESULTS
Feb 12th
The temperature was a little colder, but the wind chill was a lot friendlier as we saw faster lap times today. We even had a couple of juniors make the trip from Illinois to race along with the Cleveland area Father-Daughter duo that was in town for the whole weekend of racing.

Winter MTB Races ARE ON!!!!!!
Feb 8th
I just saw the weather forecast for this weekend, and the Winter MTB XC Series races ARE ON!!!! We have a cold front coming through tonight which will bring us a little snow and chill us down to the mid teens by Saturday morning. It will only warm up into the mid 20s on Saturday and then back down in the teens for Sunday morning. These are ideal conditions for keeping the trails frozen throughout the racing.
Don’t forget that you can still register online for the entire series on BikeReg.com and save money! Online registration closes Friday at noon!

Winter MTB XC Series Race #1 RESCHEDULED… AGAIN!
Feb 3rd
Really? Again? Did somebody forget to order us a winter? The forecast for this Sunday’s RESCHEDULED Winter MTB XC Series race is a high of 50 degrees. We are actually closer to having dry trails than frozen trails, but neither is expected for this weekend. Therefore, we are going to attempt another rescheduling of the first race of this series to Saturday, February 11, 2012 to make a double header weekend of it. For those trying to keep track, here is the current list of dates for the series:
- Saturday, February 11, 2012
- Sunday, February 12, 2012
- Sunday, February 26, 2012
The long term forecast for next weekend does look a little better than this weekend but still may not be cold enough. Maybe the trail will dry up enough to race. Hopefully, we can get these races in before the Spring “thaw”.
We have extended online series registration to Friday, February 3, 2012 at noon.

Winter MTB XC Series Race #1 RESCHEDULED
Jan 27th
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.
