Kincaid XC #1 Results

What a glorious evening we had out there tonight! Despite the slightly late start, the broken bikes (and broken teeth), the angry momma moose, and the occasional lost racer, it was the perfect start to a season of great mountain bike racing! Thank you to all 83 racers that came out tonight - it truly was a fantastic turn-out.

(updated 6/9/12)

Please email me if you feel like your time is off.  The new timing system worked great, but as with all new stuff, there tends to be somewhat of a learning curve, so please keep that in mind when emailing me.

Thank you to everyone that volunteered time setting up the course, taking down the course and helping with timing/registration! These races happen because of YOU!

NEXT RACE:

Arctic Valley Hill Climb Results

Thanks to the 17 tough bikers that came out to conquer the grueling 7-mile hill climb!
Everyone did a fantastic job! I hope to see you all out again at the first Kincaid XC of the year - Tuesday, June 5. More details and a course map to come!

RESULTS! 

Please note that the Downhill Dome scheduled for Saturday, June 2 has been cancelled due to the huge amount of snow still on the ground higher up. But don't worry!  We're hoping to do an entire DOWNHILL weekend later in the summer.  Stay tuned for more information. If you have specific interest in the downhill races and would like to volunteer, please shoot me an email at megpiersma@gmail.com.  Thanks!

FIRST RACE OF THE SEASON!

Arctic Valley Hill Climb - Tuesday, May 22, 7pm

Race registration is 6:00-6:45pm.

Pre-race meeting at 6:45pm.

Race will start at 7pm sharp.

Parking and registration will be in a dirt parking lot on the right side of the Arctic Valley Road about 1.5 miles up from the Moose Run driving range. To get there, take the Glenn HWY out towards Eagle River. Take the Arctic Valley exit. Go straight towards mountains, past the golf course and driving range. The paved road will turn to dirt- keep going. You will eventually see a large parking lot on the right. Look for a red Subaru wagon with a table set up next to it. Register here.

Please note that this year we have a brand new registration and timing system, so please plan on arriving EARLY so that we can get you into the new system - but once you're in, you're in! Future race registration will be a piece of cake! Please don't plan on getting to the parking lot at 6:45 to register...

The race will start back down at the driving range, but you'll all get there via bike.

The Arctic Valley hill climb is about 7 miles, all up hill, to the Alpenglow Chalet parking lot. It's great for getting your hill work in! Bring a warm layer to wear on the way down, because it tends to be pretty chilly up there this time of year - you can stick it in my car for the ride up. We always provide drinks and snacks at the finish line! YAHOO!

CYCLOCROSS BIKES ARE ALLOWED!

It's $15 for adults, under 18 race free.

YOU MUST BE A MEMBER OF THE ARCTIC BIKE CLUB TO RACE!

To become a member, go here.

Any questions, call 440-9928 or email megpiersma@gmail.com.

Arctic Valley Hill Climb May 22nd

Please note that our first event/race of the year isn't until MAY 22. Not tomorrow! So if you show up at the base of the Arctic Valley climb, you'll be climbing up on your own!

See you all on May 22nd!
