Orange Seal Kerrville Mountain Bike Festival USAC State Championship
October 28-29, 2023
Welcome to the USAC Texas State Championship one day race at Kerrville Schreiner Park in Kerrville TX! We’re excited to host a fun filled mountain biking weekend presented by Hill Country Bicycle Works and Kerrville Schreiner Park. Located on the banks of the Guadalupe River and a main trailhead for the River Trail, Kerrville Schreiner Park offers up all kinds of activities for the entire family. This race course can be followed along the paved Park Road so a spectator can see their racer numerous times following the spectator viewing route with a bike. The Trailhead Beer Garden, that can be accessed by the River Trail right from the Park, has live music and food trucks Thursday- Sunday. And if you’re coming to camp, the park has blocked all of the campsites on the trailside for the festival participants. So make your bookings, sign up to race and come out to Kerrville for a great time!!

Hi Paul, I sent ya an email.
Dave,
Can you help me with race registration? For Kerrville the one-day option for USA Cycling Lic has to be purchased through the website but they have me listed as Cat 3, beginner. I’ve been racing TMBRA Cat 2 50+ all season, top 10 in Spring and 4th overall for Fall. I requested upgrade but it will likely not be in time to register this week. How can I register for Kerrville if USA Cycling won’t pass me to Cat 2? Thanks.
Hi Brian, I passed your issue on to the Race Director. She will be able to help you out.
I have the same issue as Brian Althoff. It has been a number of years since I raced … but I am a former Cat 2 TMBRA Spring season state champion, and runner up Cat 1 TMBRA Spring season state champion. I would like to race in the Experienced division this weekend but USA Cycling support team is saying they don’t have the ability to change anything, so right now the only option is to purchase a one day beginner license.
Hi Daniel, I’ve forwarded you message to Lisa the race director. She will be able to help you out.
Is there any news on the course conditions and if the race will be postponed due to the rain?
Hi Jeff,
From the Race Director: ” An almost full moon rising over the field where a mountain bike race will happen this weekend at Kerrville Schreiner Park (anyone see any candy?). Right now trails 1a, 1b, 1c, 2 and the lower part of 3 are really soft. A few people rode 1a at some point today, we could see the tracks, no ruts but their tires were probably coated pretty well. So hard to predict what will happen. We may get lucky and everything will scatter around us. Or not. We have a solid plan if it stays too wet on the above listed trails. If you’re coming to pre-ride it would be better a little later in the day if the cells stay away. We’ll update again in the morning with a more current radar and a look out the door.” Posted 12 hours ago.
I know this is nobody’s fault who is running the race. But I had to type my full name and contact info about 10 times to sign up two kids, myself, and my wife, and then 10 more times for the usac licenses, use an incognito browser since each kid has to have a unique email address and then enter my cc info and name again 3 times to pay for the two kids and myself. Thank goodness wife already had a license or my finger’s be bleeding by now.
So the race is gonna be easy after all that, if I can get enough recovery in by Sunday.
Hi Jack. Please give this feedback to the race director. Here is her email: hillbike@ktc.com I’m sure she can help you navigate this better. Thought it seems it is probably too late.
Hi Jack: Just catching up- Just a few questions: were your kids racing under one day Cat 3 licenses or Experienced license.
Did you see this on Bike Reg? https://www.bikereg.com/knowledge-base/111/How-to-Register-Additional-Participants-for-an-Event
Most of the TMBRA races use BikeReg so you can save all of this info by creating an account with BikeReg.
For USAC, I’m looking into registering multiple people and how that works.
Thanks for coming out, hope you had a great time!
Lisa
Hi there. Trying to sign up my 17 year old son for his first race. I got a one day USAC license for myself but doesn’t seem to be giving him the option online. Do minors need a full yearly license in order to race?
Hi Dave, Junior racers do not need a full yearly license to race. Contact the Race Director. She will be able to help you navigate the process. Here is her email : hillbike@ktc.com
Hi Dave:
Sorry for the delay, just catching up. Did you get this sorted?
