Mark your summer Tuesday Nights down and get ready to experience the thrill of short track mountain biking.</p><p style="overflow-wrap: break-word; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; 0.14px; background-color: #fafafa; ">Short Track racing, which has also been called “dirt criterium,” has riders race at a high intensity pace on a 1-2 mile closed course for 20 to 30 minutes. The first to finish the predetermined number of laps, wins. The course weaves up and around the Derby Hill area at Franke Park. We will plan to have 2-3 different courses over the 6 weeks again this year.</p><p style="overflow-wrap: break-word; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; 0.14px; background-color: #fafafa; ">We have a variety of categories, two race waves, and even an old school cross country running events each night during the 6-week series. JUNIORS (14 & under) race FREE. So, get your kids out and come race. The Junior categories are designed for kids that have a bike with gears, can ride a mile on uneven terrain and are comfortable in a race format. Your younger kids are welcome to bring their bikes to ride the course in-between races or around the area as long as they’re supervised. We want to create a fun and safe family vibe. </p><p style=" 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; 0.14px; background-color: #fafafa; ">We have pre-registration gift card raffles to incentivize you to help us with planning and organization. We grill out, hangout, and have late enough start times for our surrounding area friends to make it a couple times! (Warsaw, Indy, Goshen, Everyone!) <br style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" /><br style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" />We promise it will be worth $10 a race and the drive.
