LaSport Cycling Club is organizing a three race mini series created to help new riders gain confidence in mountain bike competition. Each event takes place at 1 North Adventure Trails in Blanchard, with courses planned to pass viewing areas several times so spectators can stay involved throughout the action. Categories include separate divisions for men and women across First Time Racer, Novice (Cat 3), Sport (Cat 2), and Expert (Cat 1), plus an open Class 1 e-bike division. The first race is a dirt criterium on an approximately three mile loop that blends quick doubletrack around the lake with smooth, flowy singletrack, with lap counts by category set at two for First Time Racers, three for Novice, four for e-bike and Sport, and five for Expert. The second event uses a green loop to introduce a bit of technical riding while keeping the trail smooth and the distance short so riders can focus on fundamentals, and a unique twist may be announced. The third race follows a classic cross country format and uses more of the trail system, with distances to be determined. The series centers on welcoming beginners, building skills and confidence, and encouraging participation in the local scene and regional circuits around NWLA.
