Start Times for Henry's Ridge

Please review each specific event as there are different start times.

This year it will be your responsibility to know your lap count, as there may be different categories riding at the same time

Please remember that courses are tentative and may be adjusted on race morning.

The lap count is a courtesy, not a guarantee. Course conditions can impact this on either side of the time frame.

Note for Cat 1 Riders 

In the past we have always pulled riders after the first finisher has completed the course. For some riders this meant they were finishing down a lap, we will allow Cat 1 riders to finish on their 2nd lap if they choose, and will be place accordingly.

Course Map

Please remember that courses are tentative and may be adjusted on race morning. 

Here is a link to MapMyFitness for the 2021 course (however due to some trails not on the map, we improvised): Henry's Ridge Course  Also, here is a map with the actual trails highlighted Henry's Ridge PDF.

Please review the specific event on the link below for start times and such.

Category Description

• Cat 3 (Beginner) = relatively new to MTB Racing
• Cat 2 (Sport) = rides comfortably w/ speed
• Cat 1 (Expert) = Accomplished at MTB
• Single Speed = riding a bike with one gear
• Clydesdale = Men over 210 lbs

If a participant is lapped by the lead rider, you will finish on the same lap as the leader. On the final results it will indicate you are one lap down. The results posted onsite may show a time penalty instead of being down a lap, but will be adjusted for the final results.

Transfers to a different category, which means you are moving up a category, are allowed with points transferring, but must take place before the 6th race. No transfers with points will be allowed after the 5th event. After transferring, in order to be in contention to win a Series Placing, you must have competed in at least 3 of the category events you are placing in. 

If you transfer down a category or lateral within a category, your points will NOT transfer.

You can request to be transferred to a category by emailing Info@BuDuRacing.com or talking with one of the registration staff members.

We will be awarding medals for First, Second, and Third finishes in each category and division (as appropriate), however, due to COVID-19 guidelines winners can pick up at the following event. You need to pick up your medal, they will not be mailed.

Attn Teams for the West Side Mtn Bike Series:

A team leader needs to be designated, and Deanna needs to know who this is. This Team Leader will report to Deanna (via email), by NOON on the Saturday prior to the event, the 3 participants (including name and bike number -if known, if not Category) of their team members who will be the ones the placing is used for the competition. These people can change for each event, and there is no requirement for which categories the participants have to be in. Should that person actually not participate or not finish, the team gets no points for that entry. The points are based on the finish place, which are the same for all categories. The team at the end of the points series (does not include the last event) with the most points wins the World Dominator Team Competition.

Pick your most reliable 3 members for each race.

Points are awarded to each finisher in each division and category at the completion of each event and are carried over to the next event. The final event will be a stand alone event and will not count towards series points. At the final event we will have the series ending podium ceremony. This way, people can review the results and let BuDu Racing, LLC know ahead of time if there is an issue that needs to be reviewed.

In order to be eligible for season ending prizes, you must participate in 5 of the 8 events. The last event is a stand alone race, with prizes of its own. This will help the series ending awards go more smoothly. If you participate in all 7 events (in the points series), you will receive a series bonus of 15 points. Your accumulative series points will be a composite of your top five event finishes plus the series bonus (as applicable). Each participant who starts an event will automatically receive one point. If you want to change categories, you can, but you will need to remain in that category for the rest of the series (you can not return to the previous category). We have adjusted the series points to stay the same when transferring, as the lower category events have less points. You may not place in the series in more than one category. Ties will be determined by the person who has placed the highest when competing at the same event.

Series ending awards will be presented at the final event. If you are not present to accept your award, it will be your responsibility to make arrangements to receive your award.

Below is the breakdown for placing and points:
