We went out last night to watch my co-worker race cyclocross and
discovered that this looks like a ton of fun! They have mountain bike
races on the track as well and you can just ride the track before and
after the races. I thought it would be fun to get a group of us to go
out after the holidays on Tuesday, Jan 8 to give it a try if anyone
wants to come out and join me.

the rest of you do what you are most comfortable with. The racing
schedule varies each week

A description of the different race formats is HERE. As the season
goes on, we will hold a Madison, a Keirin, and other race formats.
Whatever, just show up - its the most fun you'll ever have at a bike
race.

Venue Description Course Description
Combo of clay flats, a pair of hills, and bumpy and banked dirt track

Rain Policy
Our first priority is to race, however, Austin/Del Valle Motocross
Park is made of clay that is impossible to drive a car on, much less
ride a bike, when it is saturated. If there has been substantial or
consistant rainfall in the days prior to race, we will have to
postpone or cancel that weeks event. Each season has one rain date
built into the schedule to help mitigate this eventuality. Every week
we will post the race status in the banner on the top of the webpage,
email everyone, and post to TXBRA and TMBRA. When in doubt, call us
to confirm.

Don't just look out your window and stay home! Storms that pummel
360 or Downtown Austin often completely miss Del Valle. Luckily, the
course is within a mile or two of Austin-Bergstrom Int'l Airport - so
if you check the weather there, you'll have a strong indication of
conditions at the course.

Important Safety Notes
1) Helmets are mandatory. Make sure to bring one and wear it any time
you are on your bike, including on your way from your car to the
track and back.

2) No bar ends allowed. For your safety and that of the other riders,
please remove bar ends from your mountain bike prior to ANY race.

3) Bar plugs mandatory. All handlebars must be plugged (e.g. no open
tube ends).

4) Parents are mandatory. Minors MUST be accompanied by a parent or
guardian AT ALL TIMES (e.g. no dropping kids off).

5) No pre-riding during races. Please do not interfere with racers or
judges.There will be roughly 10 minutes between races where you can
get on the course - an announcement will be made when it is open.
There is a large loop on the west side of the property where you can
warm up safely - avoid using the driveway or other areas where there
are cars.
