The night-before nerves. The early alarm. Getting dressed into your hotdog suit while the rest of the world is still asleep. That first breath of cold morning air against your glitter skin, the butterflies, the doubt, the “what if I’m not ready?”
It doesn’t really matter if it’s your first race or your hundredth. That feeling never completely goes away.
And maybe that’s part of why we race.
You might arrive alone. You might not know anyone in the start gate. But mountain bike racing has a funny way of changing that. You’ll find someone to pedal with, someone to cheer for, someone to high-five at the finish and probably a few new friends along the way. Who knows, maybe you’ll even leave with a new bike 🤷♀️
Coal Town Throwdown isn’t about making every race feel heavy. Come have fun. Push yourself. Get rowdy. Ride with your friends. Make some new ones. And leave with a story.
September 5. Cumberland, BC.
Only 8 spots left to make this a full century of racers. 👀
Registration is through the UROC Events page.
And if those early-morning jitters are already getting to you… you can pick up your race package a day early on Friday Sept 4th, at The Gravity MTB Garage, 3pm to 5pm
