The largest XC mountain bike race in West Virginia returns for the 23rd time on April 8, 2018 at Mountwood Park. This is race #2 in the WVMBA and #1 OMBC XC series (dual points!).

Race day registration will be available for $35 (plus WVMBA fees) starting at 9:00 a.m., but why wait in line!

NEW FOR 2018: WVMBA has teamed with USAC. The one-day membership will be the same as last year ($10) but $5 will go towards your one-day WVMBA membership and $5 to your one-day USAC membership. If you are a current USAC member, you will only pay $5 for your one-day WVMBA membership. Just provide your USAC license number.

The RVMBA annual membership party will be held Friday 4/13 at 6:30pm at the Marietta Brewing Company. Marietta escaped the potential flood, but the party had to be postponed.  So the Friday after the Mountwood race, come on down to the Marietta Brewing Company to join together with fellow RVMBA members for a SPRING social and re-cap of 2017. There are also exciting BIG things happening in 2018, and we look forward to sharing the news! Hearty appetizers provided by the club, cash bar available. Enjoy music by AudioExtreme DJ.

Plan to renew your membership for 2018 and pick up a fresh RVMBA sticker! Please invite potential new members, and you may bring a guest. New members are welcome.
