2006 WVMBA Point Series Update

 

3 Down, 10 to go in the WV Mountain Bike Association’s Point Series

by Diann Clothier

So far, 3 of the WVMBA Point Series’ 13 races have been recorded.... a rider must complete 5 races to qualify, and thier placement will be determined by adding thier best 6 scores to their score at the Championship race in October - so there’s still plenty of time to join the point race!

The completed races - Challenge at Mountwood, Big Bear Lake Classic, and the Henry Clay 30K at Cooper’s Rock - have resulted in few clear favorites - Junior Expert 18 & under rider Roland Sink has been the only rider to win all three races! Cassie Smith, Women’s Pro/Expert, Gerry Pflug, Men’s Vet Expert, Scott Root, Men’s Master Expert, Susan Wren, Women’s Sport, Pete Arner, Men’s Master Sport, and Audrey Kennedy, Women’s Vet Sport, are racers posting wins at 2 out of 3 races.

Upcoming races in May are the Hancock 100 at Tomilson State Park on May 14th, the Tour de Lake at Spencer’s Charles Fork Lake Park on May 21st, and Race the Trace at Little Creek Park in South Charleston on May 28th. Check the rest of the schedule at www.WVMBA.com!
