LOL. I'll add it to the calendar
XC Mountain Bike Schedule for 2023 (Schedule on 1st Post)
- Thread starter Jeremy
- Start date
Format of the first post has been updated.
Added @Dave Taylor, @xc62701, and @Stef 's events
Added a few other NYSMTB events
When did Peter Pounder become NYSMTB? That name is kind of Awful and could probably benefit from a rebranding (new name).

And another terrible Name. They should call it Nacho instead and somehow incorporate Nachos at the race. I would probably go to that....

FYI, all those races have tech and can be challenging, except The Challenger.
That's all I ride up here, not super worried tbh. I also have no expectations this year and will probably aim for 10-15 mile categories. Looking to just find a baseline for racing and go from there.

I guess some of the fees go to charity? Dunno.
Muchy again or a different location?

Same place. I suppose I should get that word out sooner than later.
Crap, you're right. I remember that thread when registration opened up too...oh well. I'll do Mayhem as an easy way into XC racing I guess and waitlist RC in case people drop.
Mayhem is underrated. Its gotten much better. They have added a ton of singletrack, the course flows great and is very dialed in.
Its a very painful race because there are no downhills to recover, but depending on your skill set that could be a positive or negative.
As it gets closer, i'll preview the races and give a description of the ones i've done (and hopefully everyone else can feel free to add their own descriptions)

I completely agree but why is it so damn far for the northern folks! That’s usually the dealbreaker for me. Endurance would be the only option worth the drive.
It’s a little over 90 minutes from me so it’s not terrible. I’ll do the endurance again this year.
I thought I would go nuts with boredom doing endurance….but I decided to focus on everything but where I finished in the race. Things like tires, what I wore, nutrition, staying smooth , keeping steady power… and I found myself in such a zen mindset for those 4 hours…. I’m really looking forward to doing it again.

Do I need to buy a USAC license?

This is a great race. No hiding. Very similar to cathedral pines imo. ZERO climbing
