XC=
cross country. a cross country race is usually from
9mi (beginners) to about 30 miles (pro) long and from
1 to 3 hours in duration. cross country tests endurance
and bike handling skills.
STXC=
short track cross country. a newer spectator friendly
race that consists of a 1/4-1/2 mile track that riders
ride around for 20-25 minutes. this is a very popular
pro race. usually a very exciting race with sprint finishes!
24
hour races= 24 hours is also a newer type of race.
most entries are teams of 4 or more riders who relay
on a mountain bike cross country course for 24 hours.
some riders go it alone, like tonya, and ride the 24
hours solo. whoever has the most laps at 12 noon wins
the race.
NORBA=
National Off Road Bicycle Association. the US governing
body (under USA
Cycling) of mountain bike racing.
Categories=
Beginner (first year, first timers), Sport (recreational
riders/racers), Expert (aspiring pros or hard core citizen
racers), Semi Pro (men only), Pro (not necessarily paid
to do it, but these are the fastest people in the country!)
NCS=
National Championship Series. 5 races. pros race for
race results and final series rankings. in 2002 all
categories race for series rankings.
UCI=
Union Cycliste
Internationale, or International Cycling Union.
the governing body for World Cup and World Championship
bicycling.
AMBC=
American Mountain Bike Challenge, a series of races
designated by USA Cycling as a regional event.
Medical
Control= cycling has taken a few big hits over the
past couple of years with high profile riders testing
positive for banned substances. It is the rider's responsibility
to understand the banned substances and how an innocent
rider can test positive for banned substances. Go to
the USADA
(US Anti Doping Assoc.) web site for a comprehensive
list of banned substances and news regarding doping
in sport. Remember: your supplements may contain traces
of banned substances that may result in a positive test.
It is your responsibility for due diligence to know
what is in your supplements and vitamins.
