When parking for the Red Wing race, Please, do NOT park between the fork in the road (that has a barrier across it for a reason) and the area where the porta-potties normally sit. The road is narrow and when cars park there, it can make it hard or impossible to get an ambulance in and out. If you...

anyone know if we can camp at red wing again this year and if there is a downhill race going on? also wondering if they might be having fireworks on saturday, that would be kinda cool to watch from the top of the bluff

Here are the pictures I took for fun today - hope if you are in one of them that you realize how amazing you are!! And to those of you who aren't in the albums, I apologize but it was probably because you went so fast you blurred and I deleted you! Feel free to add, or tag yourself in any of...

I ride with a pro-tec helmet and I'm wondering if anyone knows if these are valid helmets to race in? I saw on the website they need to be ANSI / CPSC approved or something... THanks for the info in advance.

I've have asked Timing and Scoring AND Gary Sjoquist viva, http://www.mnmtbseries.com/page/show/4829-contact to correct a spelling name race error numerous times with no correction being made nor any response to me by by email. :mad: Can you please take care of this.

Not me... but my sunglasses Oakley: Radar Black; Probably fell off the top of my car on the gravel rd. leaving around 2pm. Slim chance I know...

So I have a question... I know the rules state if you get lapped by someone in your category that you get removed from the race. But my inquiry is - say the female Brendan Moore passes me, aka a woman pro racer, and I'm an expert woman...does that constitute getting removed? Or does it have...

Is there a rule for passing during a race, or guidelines? I have two questions. Both from experiences at Afton. 1) Is blocking allowed? The story: Rider "A" verbally indicates to rider "B" he intends to pass on the left. Rider "B" blocks to the left. Rider "A" then calls he is passing on...

This past weekend at Afton I noticed 3 racers with earbuds in place. I also heard from another racer about another one wearing them. Does the MNMBS allow this? Does USA Cycling have anything mentioned about it? I get it if you're out on a training ride (but don't approve) by yourself, but a...

I just registered for the Dirt Spanker and noticed something on the form. Part of the form makes it look like I'm registered for the Sport class, while another part says Comp, which is where I'd like to be. Is the form considering cycling the SPORT and not category? Or maybe that part of the...

Afton was brutal for me today. I think I had to walk up 3 or 4 sections. I know I suck, but I would like to do the dirt spanker anyway. However, I don't really want to drive 2-3 hours north so I can walk my bike around like I did today. How would you compare the climbing at next weeks race...

Does anyone know what happened to the racer who needed the ambulance? Are they alright? Still in the hospital? What happened?

I have not been an overly active participant in the series the last few years, but get out there when I can. I have seen the series from the beginning and still have my Chi-chi's jersey from when I led the juniors overall for one race. That being said we saw a big decline of racers over the...

Thanks to everyone who made this event possible. It didn't go well for me today, but the event was good. The course was marked well and the volunteers handing out water were awesome. Thanks for having food onsite, tasty snacks and thanks to the crew doing timing. For almost everyone involved it...

It's been a bit rainy the last few days. Does a guy want to run his race tires (Racing Ralphs) or his trail tires (Nevegals) if he were to race at Afton tomorrow? Any input would be appreciated.

This is a quote from the Lifetime Avalanche race thread. I thought I'd start a new, more visible thread to help a rider out... Little help?

The MNMBS will be hosting a pizza party!! We are looking at the evening of Wed June 2nd or Friday June 4th as the date. We need folks who would be willing to come to the bloomington/apple valley area to assist us with applying labels to the remaining series medals. If you are able to assist please...

last day to sign up for the Lifetime Avalanche! save some money and save time at registration by getting it done online today! weather looks to be nice on Sunday and the course will be ready to roll. Course changes may be needed depending on the weather from previous days. Always a great...

I am really looking forward to the race this coming weekend! Very excited to get back out there to photograph all the racers!! As many may already know, I wasn't able to make it to the Freewheel Frolic and would like to offer a HUGE THANK YOU to Tony Scudiero for these great photos of the...
