About
TMBRA
The Texas Mountain Bike Racing Association was formed in the
summer of 1996 by the promoters of the Texas Championship
Series races in an effort to bring added continuity and professionalism
to the series. Today, The TMBRA calendar has races all across
the state of Texas featuring a wide variety of race courses.
Ranging from Desert singletrack in the western part of the
state to the twisty trails in the Piney Woods of Eastern Texas
and Louisiana, The races promoted on the TMBRA calendars offer
mountain bike racers all concievable types of terrain.
All
TMBRA races feature NORBA recognized classes and categories,

first race opportunity, there is a race for you.

Some
Words About Rider Courtesy And The Environment
It has been brought to our attention that a good number of
riders who use gel or other energy products drop the wrappers
on the trail, as they are racing. A number of racers have
complained that this is distracting while land managers and
clean up volunteers have pointed out that these are havens
for fire ants and a sure-fire way to get stung. We ask that
all riders place empty wrappers in their jerseys. The rider
has to reach into his jersey to pull out the product, why
not put the waste in the same place?
As
land users we must be responsible in our actions whether we
are out pleasure riding or racing. The environment that we
can harm by being careless knows no difference.
Rider
