Arizona High School MTB Final This weekend

Many riders we have been reading about the explosive growth in the California High School Mountain Bike Series for several seasons. After a successful launch in Northern California, the series quickly spread to Southern California with instant acceptance and participation. Other states have now begun to follow including our home state of Arizona which is about to wrap up its inaugural season this weekend at The White Tanks Regional Park.


This is significant to all riders because these racers and riders are the future our sport. From what we can gather, the league is very beginner friendly offering 4 classes of racers for both boys and girls. The experience riders will race varsity and it will be competitive for sure. For other riders that are just exploring what the racing scene is like, the league also offers, Junior Varsity, Sophomore and Freshman classes. This is key to making sure everyone races with riders of similar age and ability maximizing the experience for everyone.


As for distances, they vary also with the varsity covering a very respectable 20.8 miles and the freshmen covering 10.4 miles. The race is a multiple lap race with a loop of 5.2 miles. The course does not include the technical riding section up in the back of the park.


All of the race information, directions etc can be
downloaded here.



Why is this important to us?  As a riding community Bicycle World TV wants you to plan to go to the White tanks and watch these kids for the season finale. Just like we all love it when someone cheers for us when we are on the rivet, it is time to pay it back. The race also needs volunteers for the event and if your team could spend 3 hours on a Saturday, that would be AWESOME. Contact Mike Perry to find out how you can help.


Be sure to take your bikes, so you can ride after the race. The karma would be amazing.


If you have a student in high school or junior high next year, know a neighbor that might like to get into Mountain biking or anyone interesting in starting a team at their school Please have them contact Mike Perry or check out the web site, Facebook page. Below is all of the contact Information.
