Rookie to Racer in 7 Days

We're so proud of Erica, who did her first-ever MTB ride at the Roll Into Racing clinic on Jan 21, and her first MTB race on Jan 28! 

What an incredible journey in one week!

Erica rented a hardtail bike for the series so she didn't need to invest in equipment up front. She's looking forward to Soaring Eagle on Feb 11, and we know she'll finish with a smile on her face again.

FAQ

  • A: Absolutely! The Intro Skills clinic is designed for newer riders or to refresh foundational skills for more experienced folks. You'll also learn trail etiquette and what to expect on race day. You'll get to preview the course ahead of time. Plus, we provide on-site support throughout race day.

  • A: Yes! This is a great way to jumpstart your conditioning. Cat 3 Beginners only complete one lap which is designed to take about 45 minutes.

  • A: It's completely fine to walk anything, up or downhill. Just be aware of other riders and let them pass.

  • A: Having a riding buddy is the best! Bonus: we'll give you a $10 coupon for each friend you sign up. Just have them mention you in the notes of the form.

  • A: Racers need a helmet, athletic shoes, weather-appropriate layers, and a change of clothes.
