Indiana's best mountain bike racers were presented with series awards on Saturday October 11 following the DINO Mountain Bike Series final race in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Each racer's best 6 scores from the 8-race series were added to determine series winners.
Racers competed from April to October in locations spread widely around the state. A typical race consists of an hour to two hours of high intensity bicycle riding through off-road trails in the woods. Trail obstacles such as logs, rocks, mud, and hills are common challenges.
