This year, the second round of the NW Cup (April 26-29) will also be the first opportunity to earn points for both the US Grand Prix, and the Pro GRT. The DH world will descend on the trails of Dry Hill in Port Angeles for the closest thing to a World Cup to happen in the US. Registration will open by March 1st, and will hit the cap of 400 entrants, so don’t delay. There will be a season kickoff party on Friday the 27th at the Red Lion Hotel Ballroom. More info on that as it nears.

Info released about the Pro GRT today. Find it HERE

This was a nice little surprise nugget from an interview with World Cup Champ Tracy Moseley.  Seems she likes little ol’ Port Angeles.  Open post for video.

If you are planning on purchasing an annual USA Cycling license, please do it via this link.  If you are racing a category that requires one, and you don’t have one at the time of registration, there will be a small, yet to be determined service charge.  Click HERE and try to order it asap.  Print and keep your receipt, and bring it with you to registration if you don’t receive your hard copy prior to racing.  This is a big help to us, it will make your life easier, and save you a few bucks.

….but not the NW Cup.  This year the series will grow with an extra stop at a new venue.  We’re stoked to add Steven’s Pass Bike Park to the mix!!!

The 2012 season is nearly upon us.  This year we are excited to add the all new Stevens Pass Bike Park to the NW Cup.  This year will be a six race series with one dropped result so everyone will get one “mulligan”.

The second round will be a part of the US Pro Tour and is conveniently placed on the weekend after Sea Otter so expect see a huge turn-out, with some very familiar names on the pro start list.

Back to trail building!
