MSC #4 Wildflower Rush
Crested Butte, CO
June 19-21, 2009

Golden, Colo.– The wildflowers are going off in Crested Butte, and that means it’s time to race in the fourth stop on the MSC circuit- the 9th Annual Wildflower Rush. We’ve got new courses for DH, XC and a brand new entire 4X course!

The new DH is nothing but fast and fun with a little pedaling mixed in to keep the DH’ers honest! The new section of the XC are in line with the great singletrack that the Butte is legend for. The 4X is a sweet mix of jumps, berms and a finish rhythm section will test the skill of all riders.

The Wildflower Rush Cross Country presented by Shimano will kick off at 8 a.m. on Saturday, June 20 for the CAT 3 / JR race (1 lap). CAT 2 (2 laps) will race at 10 a.m., CAT 1 (3 laps) at 12:15 p.m. and Pro (3 laps) at 2:30 p.m. The 4X practice, qualifying and practice will take place throughout the day on Saturday. Check out the schedule at racemsc.com!

A free Shimano Kids Race will be presented for those 10 and under at the Cross Country start/finish area. Kids must be accompanied by a parent and can register at the race site. All participants must wear helmets.

Sunday will kick off with the Super D race at 8 a.m. The Super D course will use a variety of challenging terrain with a Lemans style start and finish through the cross country start/finish. Riders will use the Silver Queen Lift to get to the top of the course. Downhill chairlift access will begin 15 minutes before the scheduled beginning of practice and end 15 minutes before the scheduled end of practice. Daily lift tickets and number plates on the bike are required to practice.
