Today at 8:30 a.m. the first rider leaves the starting line and with it kicks off the racing season for hundreds of mountain bikers in Colorado and many riders who travel from out of state to the premier events hosted by Mountain States Cup.
This year the Mountain States Cup plays host at 10 venues across Colorado and New Mexico where both cross-country and gravity riders will give it all they got.
This morning is the first race of the series; Rabbit Valley Rally is located near Fruita Colorado and warms the racers up into the season with a time trial on Saturday and cross-country on Sunday. Good Luck Racers!
For those who love Fruita, but don't race; you may be thinking to yourself, "So much for the ribbon thin singletrack I love. Once a race tracks on those trails they will get wider." I'm glad to say that this has been considered by the MSC promoters and before the race each rider must sign a Code of Conduct derived by COPMOBA. If this will detour riders from destructive trail riding while racing is unknown, but at least it is putting trail etiquette in the front of their mind when they sign the Code of Conduct.
