Note we have changed the Saturday course up a bit and taken out the steep sandy downhill and replaced it with a less steep option. I also tweaked the course a little more to avoid a couple of hard sections. I estimate lap times of 14-16 minutes. A new GPS with the changes is below with the course map.

2022 Bosque MTB Stage Race

Bosque is a Spanish term for "a wood," which, in Albuquerque, means all the cottonwood forests near the river. Mountain bikers have been riding the bosque as long as there have been mountain bikes, and is is kind of a unique terrain for this part of the world, with the twisty trails through the forest. I tried to pick the twistiest and most technical trails I could find, to make a course that favors MTBs over CX/gravel bikes as much as possible. (You can ride your CX/gravel bike if you want.) Probably the ideal machine is a rigid fork hardtail MTB with about 2.1 tires, but there are sections where the suspension feels nice. Preride the area if you can.

2/25/2022 Friday Night Prologue TT about 5mi eastside bosque north of Rio Bravo (one lap of the Sunday Course, probably backwards) Pretty much flat with some very tight sections and some fast sweeping corner sections. This is one of the classic Bosque trails. You have probably ridden some of it before. First rider will go off at 6PM. One minute intervals. Start times will be posted here by midnight Thursday 3/24. We will go lower categories first with pros last but, if you are coming from out of town and would ilke to request a late start time Friday night, we will try to accomodate you. Last rider off will be about 7:05PM.

3/26//2022 Atricso Circuit (also NMORS race), 12-21 miles westside bosque north of Central. ~3mi circuit with a little climb and a sandy descent. A mix of tight twisty trails and open sweepy trails, with a little dirt road bit. About 80ft of climbing per lap as per my GPS.

3/27/2022 Rio Bravo Circuit 15-20mi eastside bosque north of Rio Bravo, pretty much flat with some very tight sections and some fast sweeping corner sections. This is one of hte classic Bosque trails.You have probably ridden some of it before.

More course info below.

There will be a First Time/Beginner Race at 10:00AM on Saturday 3/26. This is intended for riders who would just like to try out a race, and who have little or no race experience. Course will avoid some of the harder sections. particularly the climb and downhill. Adult men with a current USAC Cat 3 license will do the normal course with the second wave on Sat. There is no women's or -19 First time/Beginner race because the Cat 3 women and beginner -19s do the easier course anyway, just sign up for Cat 3.

Categories/scoring:
Due to the large number of categories this is a bit long. There may be some slight tweaks to this later.

For the NMORS race Saturday 3/26:
We will score all NMORS categories (for series points) and some new junior categories to accommodate school age racers. Note if you are in a school age program, Advanced=Cat1, Intermediate=Cat2, Beginner=Cat3. We will combine categories into three start waves for Saturday, two for Sunday. (Fri is an ITT)

We will score the following combined groups for stage race general classification:

A men: Men Pro, Cat 1 men & boys 17-18, Cat 2 19-39.
B Men: Cat 2 men 40+ and boys 15-15 and 17-18.
Women: Pro, Cat 1 14+, Cat 2 16+.

Stage race scoring will be by points for an omnium general classification. Riders below these categories, for example Cat 3s or some juniors, who wish to do the full stage race, may race race up into these categories. This will not mean your USAC category will change and you have to start doing Cat 2 in all races. We will try to score you for your NMORS category when you finish the laps for the Saturday race, and then you can finish the laps for your stage race category. This may or may not be possible depending on which course your group does. You may have to choose to compete for NMORS points or the stage race overall. Email me and I will see what we can do.
To be eligible for the GC you must start at least the Saturday and Sunday stages. On each stage you will get 1 point for starting, 2 points for finishing and 17, 14, 12, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 points for the top 12 places overall in the three above groups.

Note that all riders will finish on the same lap like in a crit or a cyclocross. So the slower riders in each group will probably do one less lap than the leaders. This is particularly relevant for say a Cat 2 who is 15. Unless you are really fast, you are pretty much guaranteed to just do 15 miles instead of 18, and if you are that fast, you ought to do 18 miles anyway. Basically we are putting some riders in that race who will probably get lapped in order to give them the chance to race for the GC if they want.

I had to make some compromises to make this work. There is no perfect solution. We want to try to accommodate everyone as well as we can. The only way I could get my brain around who should be in which group was to make a chart.
Donc, voila. (Thus, here ya go.)

Prizes:
We will have some gift certificates and small prizes for the omnium overall. I am kind of opting for lower entry fees and no prize money. We are not doing prizes for riders who just do Saturday, but they will get NMORS series points. School age riders will win medals for the Saturday race.

Online Registration:
We will use Google Forms for registration. It does not cost anything to preregister. You can pay online or at the race via cash, check or card. I am not going to charge late fees but please try to sign up by 9PM on Thursday 3/24. I need to figure out how big of a crew I need, and get TT start sheets for Friday.

Stage 1 & 3 Rio Bravo Bosque Circuit about 4mi
Parking on the west side of the River north and south of Rio Bravo Blvd, best accessed via Poco Loco St, just east of the river. Main parking area is called the Rio Bravo Riverside Picnic Area. Google Maps Placemark. GPS Track. Course is pretty clean as of 3/7/22. Stage 1 TT will go CW and Stage 3 circuit race will go CCW. Stage 1 ITT will probably take 16-22 minutes, depending on how fast your bike goes. First rider will go off at 6PM. One minute intervals. Start times will be posted here the day before. For the circuit we will start on the levee road about 1/4mi north of the finish so that we do not have all the riders going into the singletrack in an uncivilized manner. MTB starts should be civilized.

Stage 2 Atrisco Circuit, about 3 mi.

Park in the dirt lot north of Central Av just west of the river. Google Maps Placemark. GPS Track. (Revised 3/21/22) very slightly different from the map below. The course is pretty clean as of 3/21/22

BCD Racing Course Marking Conventions

Red and green pinflags will always be red-right and green-left. These will mark either side of the course. Always go between them with red on the right. If you start seeing green-right you are probably riding the course backwards. I will occasionally place red and green pinflags on either side of the course if it has been a while since there has been any trail marking. These may not be near any intersection. This is just to let you know that you are still on course.

Orange pinflags show where not to go, and are usually in lines of 3 or more. They will be used to block off a trail that is not on course. Do not go in between orange pinflags. Sometimes lines of course tape also show where not to go. Lines of tape and orange pinflags mean the same thing: Do not cross.

Intersections will be marked with triangular yellow arrows. Also, just beyond the intersection, I will put up at least two sets of red and green disinflation either side of the course. Sometimes there will also be orange pinflags blocking entrances to roads/trails not on course.

Always default to the more trafficked trail or road. If you are on a major trail or road, stay on it, and do not get off on any smaller intersecting trails/roads. It is not always possible to mark every possible little trail intersecting a main trail or road. If the course DOES get off a more trafficked road/trail onto a less trafficked road/trail, there will always be some marking indicating this.

Anyone signing up late will start after 6:10PM.
