Race Description: Dillon Rocks! You want technical tough, knee busting rock gardens? Come to Dillon Rocks. The race starts with a short, paved prolog before diving into the pure singletrack for the entire race loop. Climbing? Not a ton on this course but it does have winding switch backs after the field loop, a hike a bike and a few other sections to keep you honest. Novice course includes one of the two rock gardens. Everyone else must pay the piper!

OMBC Kids Race Information:

Kids who register for the OMBC points series races are not permitted to enter the (mostly beginner level) kids 12 and under race. 

Kids 12 and under races will begin at 10AM. Kids will be grouped as follows:

Ages 3-4 and Ages 5-6 will follow an easy one-mile short track course around along the mowed beginner's loop that will begin and end under the OMBC start/finish banner.  

Ages 7-8, 9-10, 11-12 will follow a slightly longer loop that begins along the one-mile short track course but incudes a portion of more technical singletrack, ending and finishing at the OMBC start/finish Banner.

Due to added costs of chip timing such large kid's races, OMBC Kids races are $10. All finishers will receive a custom die cast OMBC finishers medals. Helmets and signed waivers are required.   

MTB Wave Starts:  E-Bike, Pro/Expert Men will begin at noon with all other divisions starting two minutes apart. Everyone should be ready at Noon.

All racers will do the “Scar Tissue” (the first red section around the horse camp) and all racers will also do “Hard Tail for Sale” rock section (the second red section after sled hill). Racers finish each lap on the paved road that drops down from the Horse Camp. Each lap is 7 miles with the experts doing 3 laps for 21 miles, Sport and Expert Women do two laps for 14 miles and novices do 1 lap for 7 miles.
