Happy Summer Racers! Our State Champion Jerseys are ready. New State Champions an email was sent today with instructions on how to order your jersey. If you need to check which email we sent the information to use the same link you used to submit your paydirt forms. Also check your junk and spam folders. In general if you need to fix or change your information use that “manage my account” link. We won’t send you unwanted junk or sell your info. We just need accurate information to make your TMBRA experience the best it can be.

Which location will the Tyler race be at so some of us can make camping reservations? I checked the Tyler bicycle club facebook and website and did not see anything. Thx!
Hi Mark, I believe we are are Lindsey this year but I’d contact Simpson’s Fitness and Adventure Sports in Tyler to double check. simpsonsports7@gmail.com
Greetings
Which of these race events are qualifiers for the USA cycling national XC to be held on July 2024?
Thanks
Hi John, The races in Harlingen and Kerrville are USAC sanctioned events
Thank you, Dave. Which TMBRA races in the Spring 2024 are USAC sanctioned?
Hi John, don’t know yet. To my knowledge none of the spring race directors are that far along in planning. I don’t expect to get any information regarding the spring races until this winter.
Thanks Prez
I am very new to this (I bought a bike yesterday) and want to participate in the Texas Cup fall series starting with the Tyler event. When registering it asks my class. Based on what I could find I believe I am in the novice class but I also read anyone over 30 is in the master class? I turned 50 in May.
Do I need to join US Cycling and get a license first then register?
Is there a new riders clinic prior to the Tyler event?
Thank you
Hi Jeremy, Good questions. For a first time racer I suggest racing in the Cat 3 50-59 category. You do not need to join US Cycling for the event in Tyler. There is a new riders clinic( I highly suggest attending) It takes place the day before the race after the Kids Cup. I suggest pre riding the course on Saturday and them going to the new riders clinic ( or vice versa)
Thank you!!!!!
Your response and advice is very much appreciated.
