After 68 races in 12 years, it's time to put the Laramie Mountain Bike Series to bed.
It's been great, but it's also gone on long enough. We want to thank everyone who has
come out to race over the years, and our partners who have helped make the Series so
successful. We also can't say enough great things about our volunteers and, although
we have tried, feel like we cannot express enough how much we appreciate their help.
This is not to say that Laramie Racing is closing up shop. While we have no immediate
plans for our next event, we will still be around and ready to put on quality races
as the inspiration comes to us. We will post here when those happen.

At Laramie Racing, LLC our goal is to provide high quality races on fun courses at a reasonable price point. After more than ten years and over 100 races we feel like we have a pretty good formula for great bike racing. Our events have a nice local feel, without sacrificing key aspects that every race should have.
We do our best to provide clear pre-race information on our websites so you know what to expect, mark the courses well so you know where you are going, and publish easy to find and read results as fast as we can get them online (real-time if we have cell reception).
Our races tend to be on the minimalist side. Part of what keeps entry fees down is that we don't provide any more infrastructure or support than we have to. Sometimes our awesome sponsors feed racers after or during a race, but mostly it's up to racers to provide for themselves (no reason for you to pay us to guess what you might want, when you can easily bring exactly what you want).
While we are always re-evaluating and tweaking our races, what remains consistent is our goal of giving racers the best value we can at each event, and our hope everyone comes away looking forward to the next race.
