TMBRA News and Announcements
We’ve come to the end of another Spring State Championship Series. Thanks to everyone who came out to race with us this spring! Also, thanks to all of the Race Directors and behind the scenes people who make TMBRA go!
El Presidente
Here is some info for your summer pleasure
- State Champion Jersey info was mailed to our new State Champions yesterday (5/29). Please check your spam. Follow the instructions. Our jersey store closes on June 9th. After that date you will not be able to order a jersey.
- Top 10 T-shirts. We have recovered the two missing boxes and all Shirts are now accounted for. We will be sending an email to all eligible racers with instructions on how to get your shirt.. Please be patient with this process, getting hundreds of shirts out to everyone is quite an undertaking. We have a plan, just wait for the email and follow the instructions. We will make an announcement when the email is sent.
- Changes to racing groups:
The following changes were voted on and approved by the B.O.D .
Changes go into effect starting this fall.
Cat 1 40-49 : The distance has been reduced to match the Cat 1 50-59 group.
They will now race the Cat 2 distance.
Cat 2 50+ : This group has been changed to Cat 2 50-59.
Cat 2 60+ : This is a new category added.
SS / Open : We have combined both SS open and SS 2/3 into one category . This new category will be called SS Open. They will race the shortened Cat 2 distance. Start with the Cat 1 wave and will earn Cat 1 prize money. The only restriction is that you must race a SS Non-E-bike . Open to all ages and sexes.

Very unfortunate the decision was made to shorten the Cat 1 40-49 races. An explanation would be nice.

What are our chances of getting the Cat2 Men 50-59 group split into two groups? Perhaps 50-54 and 55-59?
Great idea Chris
That is very packed September! Three races!
Last Fall was pretty much the same. 3rd race only happened to fall 1st week of October due to calender date
Thanks for all you do!
Awesome call to add a 60+ category to cat 2. On my husband’s behalf, thank you!!!!
I never got an email about the jerseys or the tshirts. I finished in 2nd overall so I should get one right???
Hi Jason, check your spam. Both emails were sent. If you are still having trouble contact me via email tmbramtb@gmail.com Thanks
Also because you finished second you will not receive the email about jerseys. Your email about T-shirts was sent yesterday.
How does one register for all these races. I only see the Kerrville race on bikereg.

Hi Robert, as soon as registration opens we will make an announcement.
Dave, Has there been any further discussion on the Cat2 60+ being moved to Cat2 55+? This current move Cat2 60+ will only move a couple of riders and at the end of the day, not do what TMBRA is trying to do by minimizing the Cat2 50-59 group.
It’s summertime Wade. No discussions since Warda. I’m sure I will come up at the Aug. meeting.
