GUATS presents: XC SERIES @ Blue Mountain, Ontario's newest weeknight cross-country mountain bike series. On three select Tuesday night's participants will have the thrill of racing straight out of the Village on a newly developed 5km cross-country trail. The loop finishes back in the village at Rusty's @ Blue Bar & Barbeque for the best post-race chillin & atmosphere. Rusty's will be offering discounted beverages, as well as half price nachos & wings on every Tuesday night throughout the summer. To cap things off there will be oodles of draw prizes, some excellent mountain bike videos on Rusty's flat-screens & a live DJ.

How it Works:
Participants can register & pre-ride the course between 5:30pm & 6:45pm. All registration occurs on race day. Registration closes at 6:45pm. Races start @ 7:00pm in three separate waves based on age & ability. Participants complete as many laps as they can within the 1-hour time-limit. At 7:45pm the last rider is allowed to start the final lap, while all other riders are directed to the finish chute. It's expected most participants will complete between 2 and 4 laps. Once finished, riders return their bike plates and are automatically entered for draw prizes.
