Mountain bike racing has been going on in Texas since the mid 1980's.
DORBA has been promoting mountain bike racing since 1990. There are
currently four mountain bike race series in Texas. They are
TMBRA Texas State Championship Series,
DORBA DFW Championship Series,
TMBRA Texas Fall Cup
and the West Texas Series.
Currently DORBA promotes Bar-H Bash and DFW Championship Series. The Bar-H Bash is a cross-country race at The Breaks @ Bar-H in Saint Jo. Bar-H Bash is one of the races in the TMBRA Texas State Championship Series in the spring. The DFW Championship Series is a three race series that DORBA promotes in the fall on local trails. Beginner Racing tips can be found on the following web pages: TMBRA rules page has a good article on racing tips at http://www.tmbra.org/rules.htm and former DORBA Race Director Tobin Behling wrote this article about his first race @ Racing Tips. They both have lots of good do's and dont's for first time racers. PayDirt is a program that TMBRA started using in 1997 to encourage racers do trail work. It only applies to the TMBRA Texas State Championship Series. You earn first place points by doing trail work. For more detail see the TMBRA PayDirt Web Page. |
