We won't have age groups this year, so race with the appropriate ability level: Beginner - Short, least-technical course. Non-competitive. Don't feel comfortable in bike shorts? This is for you. Sport - Longer course, some technical riding. Non-competitive/sort-of-competitive Expert - Longest, most technical course. Eat-your-competitors'-children competitive If enough people show up we will add age categories in the future. Registration: Race day registration opens at 9:00am and closes 10 minutes before each race start. Field limit is 50 riders per category. There's no pre-registration, so show up early if you want to be sure you get in. Entry fee: 10 bucks. Park fee: State parks in Wyoming charge an entrance fee. $4 for Wyo. residents or $6 for non-residents. This is not covered by your race entry fee. Pay the fee at the booth when you come in or use the self serve fee station at the trailhead. They will be checking on race day. Racing Licenses: Leave it at home. If you show us a racing license, we will charge you an attached rider fee. Courses: Maps are on the Race Courses page. Important: Cycling can be dangerous. Really dangerous. Especially mountain biking. Because of this, racers must wear a helmet and sign a waiver. |
