Northern Ohio Mountain Bike Series

For Beginners

So you've never raced before and lining up for your first start seems intimidating? The NOMBS fam takes great pride in welcoming novice racers, and all of us want to help you get to the start line and take on a new challenge. You will start as a Cat3 Novice, and from your fellow novices to the experts you will find a hugely supportive community at our events. Nervous about showing up to your first race? Shoot me an email (I may reply back with a phone number since I spend a lot of time on the road), I will be happy to give you some tips, maybe point you in the direction of a team or bike shop that will welcome you into their pit for the day. You'll likely leave with a bunch of new friends and plans to get together and ride before your next race.

For novice kids we give them a separate race at 10am. That gives our least experienced kids the race course to themselves, and typically a shorter lap. If mom and dad also race it means you can watch your younglings before you line up at noon. Again if you have never been to a race before shoot me an email, I can direct you to a junior team that will help you through the day.

For Groups

For Families

One of the great things about racing bikes is it is the sport the whole family can participate in. We have several families with both kids and parents who race. What's not to love about s port where the parents can cheer the kids and later in the day the kids can cheer the parents?
