Kincaid Short Track

Tuesday, July 10, 7pm, JODHPUR PARKING LOT, Kincaid Park
  • Registration: 6-6:45pm
  • Race start: 7pm
 Depending on how many folks show up, we will either have one group (mass start) or we will break you up into two groups. Everyone will race for 30 minutes, plus one lap. So if there are two groups, the first group will go out at 7pm and end around 7:35pm, the second group will head out at 7:40pm and race until 8:15 or so. The second group will get to cheer on the first group and the first group will get to cheer on the second group! This is a GREAT race for spectators, because we see the racers every couple of minutes! Also a great race for beginners because the course is relatively mild.

REGISTRATION AND RACE START WILL BE LOCATED IN THE JODHPUR PARKING LOT.

Directions: head west on Raspberry Road (like you are heading to the main Kincaid Park entrance) and take a left (south) on Sand Lake Road. Take the first major right (west) onto Kincaid Road. Follow Kincaid Road to the 90 degree left-hand turn (this is where Jodhpur Road begins), follow Jodhpur until about a mile down. The parking lot entrance will be on your right, marked by a big red gate and signs. The entrance is somewhat obscured by trees, so just keep your eyes peeled. It is the same entrance for the Motocross area. Drive down the dirt road and park in the big lot on your right. 
  • You must be a member of the Arctic Bike Club to race. Join HERE.
  • Helmets are required.
  • Bear bells are not required for this race.
  • This race does not count for points in the Kincaid Race Series.
  • $15 adults, juniors (under 18) race free!
No race map because it will take you just a few minutes to pre-ride the course.  So it's a surprise until you get there! 

If you have questions, email Megan!

Kincaid XC #2 Results

We had 104 racers out tonight! That's a club record! Thank you to each and every one of you that came out tonight! What a perfect way to spend a beautiful evening. Great job, everyone. 

RESULTS
*updated 6.24.12
***quick note concerning the beginner and junior categories: if you are racing one lap and are under the age of 18, you are automatically put into the junior category. If over 18 and racing one lap, then you are in the beginner category. 

We would like to have around the same numbers for the 24 Hours of Mud, Sweat and Gears, which is 10 days from today! June 30-July 1, Kincaid Park, lots of race category and team options. Check out all the details by clicking on the 24 Hours tab at the top of this blog. Final details are being worked out as I type this blog entry, so check back often!!!

Everyone have a wonderful week, and enjoy your hoodies! 
Sincerely, Megan & Emily

Kincaid XC #2

Tuesday, June 19 - TONIGHT!

And what beautiful weather we are having!!!
Register between 5:15 and 6:30, race starts at 7pm. Don't forget your bear bell, your race number, and $ for a club hoodie! We have limited quantities, so get one while you can... only $35.

Please note that you MUST be a member of the Arctic Bike Club to race - do this BEFORE THE RACE! Go here and do it online! Piece of cake!

Parking & registration, as well as the start/finish area will all be out of the lower stadium lot (behind the giant scoreboard) out at Kincaid Park. We will once again have the longer, more advanced course and a shorter beginners course, so it's a great opportunity to try mountain bike racing if you are new to the sport.

ALL RACERS ARE REQUIRED TO STRAP A BEAR BELL ON THEIR BIKE - this is for the safety of other trail users and for yourself. 

Check out the "Kincaid Race Series" tab at the top of this blog.
See you all out there!
