Saturday, September 6th
Racer Check In: 9:00 – 9:45am
Race Start: See Schedule below
With the 2025 XCM/Shuniah Forty Miner taking place during August this year we are excited to run a fall round up festival! We will be running a point to point time trial race along with a BBQ and optional hill climb race after the bbq similar to the old hill climb races at Mount McKay!
The schedule for the day will be a little different than normal races as we will have three different starting locations for Elite/Adv/Sport, Lamb, and Mini Lamb. The pre-race meeting will be at 9:45am in the field at Trowbridge then Elite/Adv/Sport riders will have the option of either riding as a group to the Balsam parking lot prior to the 10:30am start or riding around on their own (safley) to the Balsam parking at lot or being dropped off. As the race is an individual time trial we will be ordering riders based on speed so not all riders will need to be at the start for 10:30am.
