Results for Race #4 (Solitude #2)

Another great turn out Wednesday night, touch and go on the weather for a moment but we persevered! Below are the results for our 4th event, the second night at Solitude Mountain Resort.

RACE RESULTS #4 RIGHT HERE!

MAKE UP DATE AT DEER VALLEY RESORT

We will be racing at Silver Lake, which is upper Deer Valley. Access Silver Lake by the Guard Road (HWY 224) which heads south out of downtown Park City.

Same time, 5:45 for sign up, kids race at 6:15PM and main event starts at 6:30PM.

We have a great kids loop, in the trees with a ton of fun single track. They will hopefully love it.

The main event is going to climb up homeward bound to the holding pond, and then descend Sunset. Should be a really fun course, especially the downhill.

Tuesdays event will be brought to you by Jan's/White Pine.

Stay tuned for more information - Thanks Everyone.

Mid-Week MTB Racing Update

We had announced a potential makeup race at Deer Valley tomorrow night. It will NOT be happening. Simply not enough time to pull it together.

At Solitude Wednesday night we will be racing the original course again. Next week we will be looking at utilizing the new trail, and will more than likely run the trail up the new section and descend Kruzer again.

See you Wednesday night.

Results for Race #3 (Solitude #1)

Thanks everyone, another wonderful turnout! Great weather, great trails, and fun had by all. Here are the results for this weeks racing.

RACE #3 RESULTS HERE

Next Wednesday we will be at Solitude again, we will absolutely be racing the same course. For the 3rd race at Solitude we are may incorporate some of the new Bess trail, should be fun.

We have not confirmed the Tuesday night make up event at Deer Valley yet. Stay Tuned.

And We Move on to Solitude!

We'll see everyone at Solitude on Wednesday night! No thunderstorms, no rain, just tacky ripping Single Track racing.

The first hundred racers get the new flex-fit Full Throttle Mid-Week Series hat.

We'll see you there.

BTW: We've not decided on a make-up race yet. Leaning towards doing a race Tuesday and Wednesday next week - maybe at Deer Valley.

Cancelled Events - Potential Make-Ups

Some of you have already emailed suggestions on make-up dates for the 2 cancelled dates. Please contiue to post your comments here, or send us emails at riley (at) mountainraceworks (dot) com.

Give us your input on a potential makeup. Would you all be interested in racing twice in one week, maybe once back in Park City? Maybe you don't want to do a makeup event at all - it does affect the payout amounts! Anyway, let us know what you think. Thanks.

ADDITIONAL EVENTS FROM MOUNTAIN RACE WORKS

THERE WILL BE THREE ADDITIONAL EVENTS IN PARK CITY AFTER THE FINAL POINT SERIES EVENT. WE ARE GOING TO ONE EVENT AT EACH OF THE PARK CITY RESORTS. THE DATES WILL BE AUGUST 12, 19 AND 26. MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND WATCH THIS SITE FOR MORE DETAILS ON LOCATIONS AND TIMES. PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE NOT PART OF THE MIDWEEK RACE SERIES FOR POINTS! THESE ARE THREE STAND ALONE RACES WE ARE DOING SIMPLY FOR THE FUN OF GATHERING AND RACING MIDWEEK!

Sorry...Drowned Again - - Race #4 is OFF!

2:00PM update: (RACE #4 CANCELLED) Well, Mother Nature doesn't seem to want us to race! Our contact with the city was just out on the course and feels there is too much standing water currently, and with the real threat of more rain it just didn't make sense to have everyone come and then have to call it off at the last minute.

PLAN: Mark your calendars for next week at Solitude! Park City people, we are talking to you - this is a wonderful venue and the Guard Road pass is open (20 minutes from the town to PC to Solitude). Weather looks like it might finally cooperate.

MAKEUP Races: We are not sure what we will do yet, maybe try to come back to Park City for a final event on the 5th of August. Your suggestions would be much appreciated.

THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING (WE'VE LOST OURS!).



1:30PM update: We have a city official out on the course, looking to make a decision here in the next hour. Stay tuned.

10:00AM update: It is currently overcast and raining off and on up here. We are hoping the weather will get this out of its system this morning and things will clear up for tonight's racing action. Please watch us on twitter @midweekmtb or here for updates. And...keep you fingers crossed. Thanks for you understanding.

RACE #3 CANCELLED

Unfortunately due to the standing water on the trail, and what looks to more on the way, the race has been canceled tonight. City Officials felt 100 racers on the wet trail would not be good - plus, it's never fun to be struck by lightning. We will be back in Park City at Round Valley for next weeks race.

Oh yeah, new course next week. We'll start up the road and make the turn onto Matt's Flat, then take a left and head up to Nowhere Elks. We will climb up to where you will be on the trail junction of Nowhere and Somewhere Elks (ridge top), from there around back to our start/finish area via lower Rambler. About the same distance, maybe a little harder - but not much. Then...we are off to Solitude for Race #5 - June 24th.
