FAQ
What kind of racing is this?
For full course/adult categories, our Fall events can be classified as cyclocross (CX) bike racing. This fast-paced mass-start format that takes place on a short, dirt circuit with obstacles like barriers, stairs and more, on which multiple laps are completed. Cyclocross or mountain bikes are acceptable and encouraged!
Which category should I register for?
If it's your first time, start with Beginner and see how it goes!The category I am trying to register is full, can I still race?
Unfortunately, due to safety reasons, we cannot allow additional racers if a category is full. Come hang out though (heckling encouraged), and race the next week!What kind of bike do kids need to participate in the Kids & Junior races?
These courses consist of a combination of gravel road and singletrack/dirt trail. A mountain bike is recommended, but any bike with tires that are not slick will do. Bikes with slick/road tires are not safe to race.Which category should I register my kid for?
If it's their first time and their confidently/independently pedaling on mixed surfaces, the Kids-Beginner category is the best place to start! More experienced kids tend to race in the Kids-Intermediate category, and the most experienced, expert level older kids race Juniors-Advanced (note: this is the full dirt pile course and they may be racing amongst adults-IT IS VERY CHALLENGING with steep climbs, descents, offer camber sections, bike dismounts, barriers, and more). Do not register for this category if you are not familiar with the terrain and rider ability requirements.How can I cancel my registration?
