After a couple of awesome days of racing, we have our national champions! In Division I, Fort Lewis College came away with their fourth straight title, followed by CU Boulder, Lees-McRae, Cal Poly, and Lindsey Wilson. In Divison II, Brevard College won top honors, trailed by Union College of Kentucky, Warren Wilson, Colorado School of Mines, and Montana State.

We’ll post official results and more photos soon.

Thanks to everyone who came out to race, watch, and volunteer! We look forward to seeing you next year!

If you have any feedback on the races, banquet, or facilities, or any suggestions for next year, let us know at feedback@2009MTBNationals.com.

Photos from Friday’s XC and Saturday’s STXC and MX. (More to come in the next few days).

Final results for the Short Track and Mountain Cross are posted on the USA cycling site, along with more new photos.

Fort Lewis College leads DI and Brevard College leads D2 with only DH to go!

Can’t find something?  Shoot us an email and we can bring it up in the Riders’ meeting.  Also we’ve set up the Lost and Found in the Ticket Office where you reg’d.

We are missing a bag, a blue and grey Deuter backpack (model Futura 28 AC).  It was one of our marshal’s (and there was a race radio in it) so we’d really like to get it back.

Thanks to the recent rain, the course is running much faster than our pre-ride laps, so men will be doing 4 laps and the women 3. Enjoy the extra time out on the sweet trails!
