Hey, Im just wondering where I can find out when/where are mountain bike races; like xc, am, or dh. Ive googled it and looked around this forum but cant find anything. I want to get involved and dont know where to start, thanks.
The best local races are put together by Team Big Bear (a race organizing company) and the US Cup. Check them out at: www.teambigbear.com www.uscup.net Team Big Bear puts together the official So cal championship series and the US Cup put together the national racing series with a huge number of races here is SoCal. Another good series is at Fontana (really only big DH scene here - everything else is pretty much XC). Check it out at: www.southridgeusa.com Finally, I would also suggest my personal favorite, a smaller but great series near Big Bear is at the Rim Nordic center: www.rimnordic.com Would also suggest you find a local team or club to join. They can lead you through the ins and outs of racing....
off the top of my head there is; 1) us cup, national series race http://www.uscup.net/ 2) Sea Otter http://www.seaotterclassic.com/ 3) 12 hours of Temecula, local 3 race series. http://www.12hrsoftemecula.com/12hrsoftemeculapage1.html 4) 24 hours of adrenaline http://www.24hoursofadrenalin.com/twenty4/index.cfm?fuseaction=dspHome 5) Granny Gear http://grannygear.com/index.shtml 5) Sagebrush Safari http://www.teambigbear.com/schedule.php 6) and of course fontucky!! http://www.southridgeusa.com/

Thanks you guys, really appreciate the help. I feel stupid cause there are so many and I couldnt find one. And Im guessing you dont have to be some pro to do this? Im good on a bike but Ive just never raced before in something like this.
bikereg.com has a ton of races. More will be added shortly. Not sure how many are in CA, but all over the country.. Some good stuff there.
