New England's favorite Thursday night racing series is back at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

New racers are always welcome.  If you are a new racer and/or it is your first time at the series, please feel free to contact the race director with any questions or ask for assistance during registration.  The race series is a welcoming environment, and there are many experienced racers at the series who are happy to assist new racers. 

This clinic is geared towards the beginner riders who want to start their journey off on the right foot! Are you just starting on your MTB journey OR are you a more experienced rider who wants to refine their foundational skills so you can continue to progress? Then this clinic is for YOU! 

Please join OMS for the Gravel Gallop bike ride on July 27. Riders can start at 8:30 am, but feel free to arrive at your convenience. 

We have 3 route options: 9 mile, 32 mile, and 45 mile loops, all through beautiful Plymouth, VT. The routes have great diversity and some challenging climbs. The start and finish will be at Plymouth State Park. The registration fee includes day use of the park for the whole day. Perfect for swimming in the lake after the ride!

Cyclocross Camp — Cycle-Smart

The Cycle-Smart Cyclocross Camp is the original, most popular, and most emulated 'cross camp in North America. The camp's unique attraction lies in its beautiful setting, fun atmosphere, mix of ability levels and personalities, and the opportunity to learn and practice skills with America's best and most experienced 'cross coaches and racers.

The magic of this race is the vibe. It’s about the encouragement from your fellow 500 riders. High fives, cheers, support from strangers, heartache, victory, and sore legs. It’s about perseverance, costumes, the music, the quiet riding at night, the beer, the party, bacon lap, the grilled cheese, the campground scene … come live the experience and become part of the history here at the Glen.
