Tense-N-Grity! New Short Track MTB series to be hosted by Tensegrity PT Cycling

Bloomberg Course Details are not finalized and will be approved by Eugene Parks and EWEB

Tensegrity PT Cycling is proud to be bringing a new short track mountain bike race series to Eugene this summer. Plans are in the works for a 4 race series on Thursday nights July 12th-Aug 2nd. The course details are still being worked out but the location will be at Bloomberg Park near Lane Community College.

The course will be most likely 0.7 miles to 1.5 miles long with a mix of new singletrack, grass, and gravel road climbs with approximately 100-160 feet of climbing per lap. Tensegrity PT Cycling will be working closely with the Disciples of Dirt a non-profit chapter of the International Mountain Bike Association. The DOD are expert trail builders and will be helping in the design and maintenance of the new trails. The DOD would like to see Bloomberg park be kept as a year around training site for short track mountain bike races and cyclocross races with permanent barriers put in place.

More to come in following months. Stay tuned and keep on riding folks.
