• We're Goin Big Or We're Goin Home / Where's The Beef?

  News | Posted May 22, 2013 by Benjie Klimas for West Virginia Mountain Bike Association

  We're bumping up the prize money here at WVMBA. Why, because we can. We're raising the ante for racing in WV, and you overcompetitive race fiends are going to benefit from it. We're topping $10,000 in cash and prizes this year for series payouts. All expert first places are going up to $450. Pro/Ex male and female winners are going up to at least $500. The Ultra series is paying out for real this year for the first time. more...

• The Pain in the Wayne!

  News | Posted May 20, 2013 by Benjie Klimas for West Virginia Mountain Bike Association

  If you didn't hurt a little on this course you just train too dern much. Steep climb after steep climb was sure to make your legs soft, with some crazy steep slick downhills where you saw tracks where someone had already gone off the edge. RVMBA has done a great job building and maintaining these trails. Its great trail organizations like this that provide the awesome trails for our race series. Without them there would be no trails and therefore no races. more...
