Spring has arrived

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

This is my favorite time of the year. The mild winter has left the trails in great shape. It is light enough in the evenings to ride till 7;30. There have been some good groups on the Tuesday/Thursday rides. Come out and go for a spin with us at 6;00pm in the parking lot of Hooker Oak park at the west end.

Winter Riding

Monday, December 1st, 2008

The weather has been very good for mountain biking lately. Looking for a night ride? The Tuesday and Thursday rides meet @ 6pm in the Hooker oak parking lot. If you need a faster pace check out the Wednesday ride, meet @ North Rim Adventure Sports on 178 E 2nd street downtown @ 5:30 ready to ride from the parking lot. Don’t forget to charge your lights.

Bidwell Bump

2008 Bidwell Bump

The Cal State Chico Cycling Club has announced the 2008 Bidwell Bump will be held on September 14, 2008. The races will be held in Upper Bidwell Park just east of Chico, CA.

The Bump will consist of an XC Ride at 10am, followed with a Super-D type (1 minute gaps, but it is LONG) downhill starting at 2pm, with a BBQ at Hooker Oak.

Some notes about the races:

  • There will be no Beginner class in the Super-D, because Guardians is not a beginner friendly trail; It is full of sharp rocks and poisonous snakes and places to fall off and break a clavicle and have to get airlifted out and very scary things! But the Expert and Sport classes should be fine, with waivers!
  • This is a long, hot, tough, rocky race so bring lots of water (at least 100oz for Sport/Expert XC riders), some spare tubes and plenty of food.

A donation to the CSUC Cycling Club will be requested for racing:

  • XC or Super-D: $20
  • XC and Super-D: $30
  • BBQ: $5! extra

This is a fundraiser race to help send Chico State riders to the Collegiate Mountain Bike Nationals in late October.

Mountain Bike Oregon

I think all of us that went to MTB Oregon will agree that it was spectacular! Eight riders from Chico attended the event in August. The trails are some of the best around. Check out there website and mark your calender for next year, you won’t be disappointed.
