There will be two separate high school mountain bike racing series this fall, one primarily in Maine and the other in New Hampshire and Vermont:
The Maine series is called the Maine High School Mountain Bike Series. Here's the website: http://mehsmtbseries.blogspot.com/ and here's their tentative schedule for the 2010 season:
9/18 @ Camden
9/25 @ open date
10/9 @ CVA 3:30pm
10/16 @ Gould
10/23 @ KHS 3:30pm
10/30 @ (Championship?)
The schools involved are Gould, Kents Hill School, Carrabassett Valley Academy, Camden/Rockland public high school. They also welcome kids from anywhere in the state public school system, even as individuals. All races have a Varsity and a JV bracket with female riders racing in the same race as boys at either level. JV racers go a shorter distance than varsity with the goal of having both races go for about the same amount of time (45 minutes to 1 hour). Most races involve multiple laps of a given course.
The NH/VT series is called the Lake Region HS Mountain Bike Series. Here's the website: https://sites.google.com/site/lakesregionmtb/ and here's their tentative 2010 race schedule:
Sept 22 Proctor Academy
Sept 29 Kennett High School
Oct 6 Vermont Academy
Oct 13 Fryeburg Academy
Oct 20 Okemo Mt School ?
Oct 27 New Hampton School.
Killington Mountain School will be aiming for this series as well.
