The Philadelphia Mountain Biking Association - Fair Hill Classic on Sunday, Support DE Trail Spinner as they supported PMBA.

I like to encourage riders to try out racing and what better event than the Fair Hill Classic this Sunday? It’s sponsored by the Delaware Trail Spinners who gave PMBA a huge donation, so this is a perfect opportunity to return the favor.

There are four categories this year including Beginner, Advanced Beginner, Sport and Expert. Fair Hill is fast and fun and not that technical, so any Wiss rider can handle it. But some of the distances are plenty long so load up the hydration pack.

Along with the four categories there are a ton of classes, from juniors to pensioners, and even Single Speed. Chances are you won’t be the youngest, oldest, fastest or slowest.

Check out the site and flyer, and check out the MASS site to learn what the series is about and download forms that can save some time on race day.

I know there are riders who are not into the idea of competition, but I’d still encourage you to give it a go. It’s a different vibe than your normal park ride; sort of a massive group ride but you're riding individually at the same time. TCoyle got me into it and even though I’m at the back of the pack I’m still having a blast. Sure intense riding brings intense competition, but every race thus far has been a positive experience for all. So come out and give it a go and make us look good in the process.

I'm riding Team PMBA. On Your LEFT!
