Northern Minnesota's multi-discipline cycling series
A grass roots series showcasing the best riding Minnesota has to offer!
The Races
I have some questions!
Please reach us at Quinn@bearskin.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Nothing! You will still need to register for each individual race in the series, but there is no additional cost to join the series.
Each rider is awarded 1 point for every rider they finish in front of in the overall results of each race. If there 100 riders in a race, the winner will receive 100pts, 25th place will receive 75pts, and the last place rider will receive 1pt. Full points are awarded for the longest distance at each race. .25pts will be awarded in the shorter distance races.
Points are based off of your overall finish, not age group or gender categories.
Of Course! The ABC Series has something for everyone! In addition to being made up of some of the most beautiful and friendly races on the planet, We've saved the best prizes for our end of the season raffle winners! The more races you do, the more likely you are to win!
No. Although it would be awesome if you did! Riders need to complete two of the races to be eligible to win the series or raffle prizes.
Yes, you can join the series at anytime before the final race. When registering, check the races you've already done and type in your overall place in each race.
The ABC Series is made up of independent races, all of which do have a max registration number. Joining the series does not give you priority when signing up for the races. Your best plan is to pay close attention to the registration dates and sign up early.
