Mountain Bike Races in the Triangle? All the AlleyCat coverage would have you believe that New Raleigh writers only know the joy of sliding through streets, a knobby tire a distant stranger. Regardless of my new urban philosophies pushing pedals in the woods is a joy close to my heart. The Triangle MTB XC Race Series is a set of mountain bike races starting tomorrow and running through September this year. The races are an opportunity to competitively ride the best trails around and engage with the MTB community- and the races are split up for every kind of rider- from young kids to old folk.
Registration for the first race starts tomorrow at 8 am. Check out the race page for more information.
