Norba announces that after three years in Spokane, WA, the 2006 USA Cycling 24 Hour National Mountain Bike Championships will move to Nine Mile County Forest, located five miles west of Wausau, WI.
Nine Mile County Forest has hosted the 24 Hours of 9 Mile for seven years, but 2006 will be the first year it will hold a national championship designation. "The 24-9 is the largest 24-Hour race in the Midwest," said event director Kevin Eccles. "We're excited to be hosting the national championships in Wisconsin and expect it to be a great event." The 24 Hour Norba National is slated for July 29-30.
Riders will compete for championship jerseys in the junior four-man 18 and under, master four-man 30+, men's solo open, women's solo open, male open four-man open and four-women open categories. In addition to these categories, riders will also have the opportunity to compete in additional non-championship categories. More information to be listed on www.24-9.com.
