Thursday Night Series – Finale Next Week, Sept 1

Posted on by tmas

The sun is setting sooner, the days are getting cooler, and those who participate in public education must return to school soon. These clues would suggest that summer is ending, but a perhaps more definitive clue is that next week is the *finale* of the 2011 edition of the Mountainview Thursdsay Night Race Series is next Thursday, September 1st.

Come out to enjoy the last race of the season, and stick around for post race BBQ and end of year awards,  as well as to see some photography from throughout the year.  The BBQ will cost only a few dollars, bring your friends and family to enjoy some BBQ and to revel in your glory while you receive your awards!

9 Hour Results Posted

Posted on by tmas

Thanks to everyone who came out to make the 7th Mountainview 9 Hour Relay a roaring success! Despite a thunderstorm-induced course-closure, the race was able to continue after 90 minutes (time well spent drying off and pie eating), and the course firmed up beautifully for the rest of the day. Thanks again to our sponsors, Total Sports and Joyride 150, and congratulations to all of the winners.

Results are posted, follow the links above. Bonus event results and lap times are posted as well.

June 23rd – Classic/Beater Bike Night

Posted on by tmas

Hey Everyone,

Thursday, June 23rd will be beater bike night at the Thursday series. Thumb shifters, v-brakes, and 7-speed drive trains will take to the trails, to see how much it really is about the rider, not about the bike! Bring out your vintage/beater bike to earn 20 bonus points in the standings, and earn some cred amongst your fellow riders!

Clipless pedals are allowed. Because I said so. “Vintage” counts as anything before the year 1998 (The year I started bike racing). “Beater” counts as anything myself and an impartial panel consider to be a beater.

+1000 points for anyone who races on a Penny Farthing.
