About the event

THIS EVENT IS RAIN OR SHINE!

NOMBS, Oberlin Bike Shop, and the Findley/Thorn Trail Crew are building on the success of last year's “Return To Thorn” race and starting an annual tradition of this being a Father's Day race!

Jr Novice Races

You may have noticed that we are doing Cat3 Jr novice races early in the day and be asking "hey, what's up with that?" We want to give Jr's, and particularly novice Jr's the best race day experience we can. Separating the Jr. novice races to an earlier start allows us to do 3 things:

Fewer racers on course for the race.For families where the one or both parents also race it gives the parents a chance to spectate and cheer their kids.Novice Jr's get their own start, with more people cheering and spectating. Bring the cowbells!

Day Of Registration:

While we strongly encourage you to preregister (and greatly appreciate you doing so as it helps the event go more smoothly), there will be "day of" registration. It will be an extra $10, and will close 30 minutes before the start of your event.

Course Info

We will be racing the famous (or infamous) “VK World Cup Loop”!

 

Lap length ~8 miles.Cat1 3 laps.Cat2 3 laps.Cat3 1 lap.Cat 3 Jr Novice 1 lap.

USA Cycling Licenses, Ohio State Championship, and NOMBS Series Championship rules & eligibility:

NOMBS is proud to be bringing a USAC sanctioned series to Ohio and be hosting the official USA Cycling Ohio MTB Championship. Partnering with USA Cycling helps us offer you a great series with structure, good insurance, and allows an opportunity for riders with goals outside Ohio to earn USAC points. 

If you do not have a USAC license you can select a one day license during checkout. This is a great option for riders who want to come out to a few races and have a great time. However to be eligible for series awards or state champion you must purchase an annual license from USA Cycling. You can go here to get your annual, and enter one of these promo codes to get a discount on your USAC annual license:

TEAM24 is good for $10 off renewing your USAC license.INTROMEMB24 is good for $25 off a first time USAC license.

If you have NEVER had a USAC license enter promo code INTROMEMB24 at checkout. First time memebers are eligible for a $49 annual race license!

In 2024 the Ohio State Championship and NOMBS Series Championship will be awarded separately. Awards will be given out at a post season awards party to be held at Ray's Indoor MTB Park. See below for eligibility rules for both State Champion and NOMBS Series Champion.
