Consolidated 2010 Mtn Bike Race / Event dates

[Bexter]

Eric Perry posted the CIMBA schedule and I was going to reply adding our other IHGRS races to the list. I started to do that, then found myself getting excited and adding other fun stuff to the list to the point that 1) I needed to calm myself, and 2) I thought the list deserved its own thread. Building on Ew's post....

No doubt add to that some rocking awesome Memorial Day weekend trip somewhere.
Maybe a 4th of July weekend trip - dependent upon another gameplan tentatively in the works.
Bexter's 2010 Float and Drink date to be announced. Considering Decorah, IA (biking AND floating).

Hey Bexter, how about the CIMBA race? ;-o

IHGS - August 1 - CIMBA Clash at the Camp, Sullivan, IL

Wow, that is bad! I actually have that race written in on my calendar. Somehow I missed it in the post. Sorry -- post is now edited. Thanks for the heads-up.

Another good spot to look is our calendar. It has all the same stuff and more. Including the most of the Missouri stuff if not all. I've been updating it over the last month or so. I just went thought it and added some other events.

Keep in mind there are 2 calenders. One with FORC interest and one with general mid-west events.

Hi All. I'm new to the QC area and love the site! Good to see a strong MTB community here!

I would like to point out another fun race you may have heard of known as the ICEMAN. It's held in northern lower Michigan the first weekend in November
(This year it's on 11/6/2010). Have done it the last couple years and had a blast. It fills up quick and online registration opens 11:00 AM EST on March 1st. Check it out.

Also fun is the Ore2Shore in the UP of Michigan August 14th.

They're both a haul to get to from the QC area but well worth it IMHO.

Cheers!
