About the Heartland Mountain Bike Championship Series:
After a one year hiatus, the series returns with a bang. We are feelin’ refreshed, rejuvenated, and all-around giddy about racin’ in 2006. This year, we will be racin’ in three of the finest parks the Midwest has to offer: William Landahl Park Reserve, Crowder State Park and Perry Lake State Park. Each venue offers it own twists and turns that will keep you beggin’ for more. One thing we did learn over the past year is how important sleep is for the body and soul, so for 2006 we have moved our racin’ start time to NOON. Sleep in and take your time getting’ to the race…the rewards are a plenty.
