Attention, hand bike racers! The Mountain Bike Association of Arizona wants you for a new racing division. From the MBAA Web site:
MBAA will add a hand bike category for the Short Track race at McDowell. Start time will be after the pro race category at 11:30am. The race will be 20 minutes plus one lap in duration. Course will be on dirt, but may be modified for this class if it is needed. We would love to see 5 racers on the line. More would be awesome. I myself broke my back racing downhill at the MBAA race series in 1999 the day after Bradley Smith broke his and was close to being paralyzed myself, but I was extremely lucky. So anything I can do to promote this I will. Bradley Smith, Steve Garro, to just name a few I would love to see at the start line.

Keep up-to-date at mbaa.net! I think that’s very cool. The course should be awesome since it’s the short track at McDowell Mountain Park.
In other news, don’t forget to become a fan of International Blog My Trail Day so we can get a read on how many people will blog about their home MTB trail on Jan. 8.
