Winter Park Mountain Bike Series
2009 marks the 17th year of the Winter Park Mountain Bike Race Series, the
largest cross-country series in Colorado. What do our riders say keeps bringing
them back? Great courses over the 600+ miles of epic single track in the
Winter Park/Fraser Valley, Mountain Bike Capital USA™. Friendly race
staff and volunteers
helping provide an enjoyable experience for all levels of riders. The biggest
post-race awards and prize giveaways. And, your results posted online by
the time you get home!
We've hosted the best riders from around the country, including members
of the US Cycling Team. In 1999, Lance Armstrong raced our King of the Rockies
right after winning his first Tour. But we are also a great place to try
out mountain bike racing for the first time. No memberships are required,
just sign-up and you're
off! Choose from our six categories (pro, expert, sport, beginner, Clydesdale,
or single-speed), and our staggered start waves keep you spread out on the
course and focused on the competition in your age class and category. Experience
the thrill of mountain bike racing in Winter Park this summer!
