I raced in the 90’s as a teenager when it was NORBA. There was beginner, sport, and expert. I’m wanting to try some races out this year but I’m confused on how to register and what to register as. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Brandon, welcome back the racing! Cat 1 = expert Cat 2 = sport Cat 3 = beginner . Links for registration are usually posted here on the calendar tab. You can also find them by searching on Bikereg.com
We will have the link for registration very soon. There will be an announcement here and on our social media channels as soon as registration goes live.
This will be my daughters first time to race. I signed her up with USA cycling. I tried to get a plate through this website and it said it was closed. Please let me know what I need to do. Thank you.
I would say this course for all Cat 3 will average about 50-55 minutes. You’ll have some fast ones that get a much faster time but for average and below they will be over the 55 minute mark. Great challenging course! Have fun!
Is there a reason that the race is starting an hour later than previous years which were at 7:45. It makes sense having Cat 1 go first, but with this schedule the awards won’t be until 1p.m. or 2 p.m.
Hi Josh, I’m not exactly sure but I do know that the lap and course is a bit different in length this year, so that’s a possibility. You may have to reach out to the race director for a more precise answer. If you go to the registration page and click on the “contact Tab” there is a spot to ask questions and get a reply from the race director.
Barber Hills will be open to pre riding early Saturday morning. If you absolutely need to pre ride late this afternoon you can. Please wait until Saturday morning if you can to give the trails a bit more drying time. The sandy dirt will be perfect on Sunday!! Let’s race!
Will there be an opportunity to order plates for the Fall Series? Or Marathon Series?
Hi Roger, according to the season plate order page, plates can be ordered inline with your first race registration after February 6th (be it fall series or marathon).

Hi Dave,
Can you please provide me the link for registration? It’s not showing in Bikereg or TMBRA event sites.
Thanks, Scott
Hi Scott, Here is the website. https://paristexasbiking.com/barber-hills I’ll be updating the TMBRA website this weekend.
Can we please get the registration links active? It’s crazy we are only 5 weeks out from the first race and there is no way to register yet.
Hi there, please be patient. I just got back from vacation. I’ve been away for 3 weeks. Thanks

Hi Sarah, You will be able to purchase a plate when you register for the event. Registration has just opened . The link can be found above.
9 miles for Cat 3 is too short
Opps 8 miles
I would say this course for all Cat 3 will average about 50-55 minutes. You’ll have some fast ones that get a much faster time but for average and below they will be over the 55 minute mark. Great challenging course! Have fun!
Hi Thomas, consider racing in the Cat 2 class if 8 miles is too short for you.
Thomas don’t let the mileage fool you. It’s not a real easy 8.3 miles
Any idea what start times / days will be yet?
Hi A, start times and days are listed on the registration page . Click on Register Here above.
