The 2021 Leadville Winter Mountain Bike Series hosted by the Cloud City Wheelers will take place this winter with self-timed rides on defined courses rather than a more traditional race.
Cyclists will have a number of days to ride each course in an unsupported fashion and log their time on the series registration website, according to a news release.
This year’s series which will include new categories for cross-country skiers and snowshoers starts with the Colorado Cup Race from Saturday to Jan. 31 at Colorado Mountain College in Leadville.
Subsequent series races include one at the Tennessee Pass Nordic Center from Feb. 5-7 and Feb. 12-14, the Mineral Belt Mayhem starting at Dutch Henri Hill Trailhead from March 6-14, the Fatty Patty 50K starting at Colorado Mountain College and winding through the historic East Side Mining District from March 20-28 and the East Side Epic on a to-be-determined course from April 10-18.
