Hey there fellow TMBRA racers. I hope you’re staying cool so far this summer. Here are some news and updates to give you motivation for your summer training.
- If you are a recently crowned State Champion, check your email ( spam / junk) . An email was sent on 6/7 with instructions on how to get your jersey.
- If you didn’t receive your top 10 T-shirt because we didn’t have your size at Warda AND you responded to my email. Your shirt was mailed today 6/7. If you didn’t receive an email from me or didn’t respond, fear not! Contact me at tmbramtb@gmail.com and we can work out getting your shirt to you.
- TMBRA is pleased to announce that Cycle Progression has extended their sponsorship to include our fall series Texas Cup! This means we will have neutral bottle hand ups at all fall Texas Cup races along with helping defer the cost of running the series. We can’t thank Cycle Progression enough for their continued support of Texas MTB racing and our community.
- We are also excited to announce that Don and Dominic Losole will become the “official voice of the 2023 TX CX MTB State Championship Series” . This means we will have the same official announcer at all spring races next year. We hope that having the same familiar voice at our events will improve our series continuity (and get everyone’s name pronounced correctly)

Will there be a double points race in the marathon series?
Hi Chris, Nope we voted to try double points for last spring and this fall. We will vote at our next meeting if we want to keep it or not. We didn’t vote for double points for the marathon series so It’s going to be straight up points earned. No extras.
