Online Registration for MTB National Championships Closes July 12

Online registration for the 2010 USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships closes Monday, July 12 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. Riders can avoid late fees and waiting in line during on-site registration by signing up before Monday's deadline.

The 2010 USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships have been expanded to host competition over four days, July 15 through 18, in Granby, Colorado. Juniors, Masters, Amateur categories (1,2,3), Pro and U23 riders will compete in five different mountain bike events throughout the contest — featuring revamped, spectator-friendly cross-country and short-track cross-country courses, a new 4X start and slightly redesigned downhill and super D runs.
