TMBRA Fall Series Race Course Pre-rides

For the benefit of NWCC and GHORBA members - existing mtb racers and those who are thinking about it - we will have pre-rides of the three local venues in the Fall TMBRA calendar as follows:

  • 17 September - Rocky Hill Ranch, Smithville (race is 24 Sept).  Contact Mike Lutomski if late

  • 1 October - Lake Bryan (race is 8 October)  - reminder will be posted nearer the date

  • 29 October - Huntsville (race is 5 November) - reminder will be posted nearer the date

For each pre-ride, meet at 10am. I'd like to use the opportunity to do a lap at slow speed for the newbies before doing some race speed laps to get really familiar with the courses.  This is a golden opportunity for those of you wanting to try racing, with so many great courses so close to home.  I won't be at the Rocky Hill pre-ride, but Mike Lutomski of GHORBA will be there, along hopefully, with Bill Begnaud and Melanie Lacy.  So dust off those fat tires and come and join us!
 
Each of the above 3 races can be done as a day-trip from Houston.  Although, please remember there's usually other events you may want to attend on the Saturday - a beginner's race clinic at 1pm on the Saturday before each race; a Cyclocross race at Rocky Hill; a road race at Lake Bryan.
 
Happy Trails,
Kevin Highfield
NWCC mtb race team captain
