    We are trying to put together a trip down there this weekend to do some trail work/pre ride and map/video walk through. Hopefully mother nature will cooperate with us and we can get things perfect for you guys.

    The rain has come and made the trails great for everyone to enjoy! The return of mountain bike racing to the San Diego Velodrome is creating quite the buzz and the excitement is building! The weather next weekend is looking to be the perfect San Diego weather we all enjoy so much!
    Pictures from the movie premier have been posted on our website under the photo page http://www.racersandchasers.com/Photos.php. Be sure to see who came out dressed to impress!!

    Come out to have a great time with the family and enjoy some great riding on a fun course. We are incorporating in all of the great trails that we can at the velodrome to insure the best riding!

    We also will have several bike manufactures on hand to show off their new products as well as let you demo them! The vendors area is growing daily with exciting products to show you!

    This is a very exciting race for all of us as we are so glad to bring racing back to San Diego. Register online http://www.racersandchasers.com to save time from standing in line on Saturday December 19th.

    With the past rain the trails are great at the San Diego Velodrome for the December 19th Urban XC! I got the chance to again ride the race course and it will be a great time for all. I have made a new course map to reflect the recent changes and it can be found on the upcoming events page. The weather is looking great for the weekend so grab the family and join us for a great time!

    With online registration already extremely high we will be incorporating in some sort of a parade lap to allow all of the riders to get sorted out before entering the amazingly fun single track!

    Our vendor's area is going to be huge with bike manufactures such as Ellsworth, Specialized, and Siren bicycles showing up. Look for other great bicycle accessories companies to be out in full force as well as some other non industry supporters. We will even have Donovan Cycling Services on site to work on your bikes and help you out with any last minute needs.

    Onsite registration will be open at 6:30 AM Saturday December 19th morning and we will only be accepting cash and checks on site. We are expecting a HUGE turnout for this event so please register online early to save time Saturday morning.

    Looking forward to the great weather and great riding this weekend!

    You should get rid of the age groups and just have beginner, sport, expert. Sure, getting a price for getting top 5 is great, but if everyone walks away with a medal, it doesn't really mean as much. I race for the fierce competition and while I do want to win, I want to feel like I deserved the medal for winning, not that I just got it because there were only 3 people in my category.
