We have things in the works for Fall 2021 MTB and CX!
First, it looks like schools are planning for in-person classes. That should point towards a return to racing for us as well. Second, we've added the Old Fashioned MTB Race in Flagstaff (8/28) and the Horny Toad Hustle (TBA) is back as well. Hopefully we can get 1 or 2 more weekends in there. Check out the calendar page to stay up-to-date!
We've posted a super tentative calendar for the spring. There are a lot of moving pieces to consider:
1.) Will we even have racing?
With cases spiking (again), who knows what states and counties will do.
2.) Can our teams race?
Again, it isn't super clear what the club sports departments at our schools will allow. If teams can't travel or race, we can't really host an omnium.
3.) Can I just race by myself?
Probably. But, you might want to be careful wearing your school kit. Check with your team on that.
4.) What about nationals?
USAC is planning on nationals in Augusta, GA in May. We'll be super lax on qualifications, and we're working to get approval to use time trials and hill climbs to qualify. It might be something where we use the races identified and if you race them (for your team or not) we'll count it as a start.
Weird times ahead! Be patient!
