Muni includes four different competitions:
Cross country
Downhill
Uphill
Cyclocross
The first three competitions are off-road races where multiple waves of unicyclists try to cross the finish lines within the fastest time.
During the downhill race, riders have to ride a downslope of high difficulty. During the uphill race, they have to ride an upslope of high difficulty. Cross country is a mix of downhill and uphill where slopes are of moderate difficulty.
Cyclocross is unlike the other races: artificial obstacles are laid on the circuit and riders have to overcome them, and may unmount to run. The winner is the one who has completed the most laps within the given time.
Muni Courses - Note from the Directors:
Beginner cross country will happen on Tuesday, July 23rd at a separate location from the intermediate and elite cross country races.
Intermediate and Elite Course
Cross Country will be different from what we are used to, but we believe this will make for a better race, for both participants and spectators.
All participants will begin riding on the intermediate section of the trail. Riders will start in waves.
The course is almost 22 km long; at the 12km mark there will be a cutoff time. The cutoff time is yet to be determined.
Riders who reach the 12km mark before the cutoff time will be considered and awarded as an elite rider and will continue onto the elite section of the trail. If the rider does not continue onto the elite section they will be considered an elite rider who did not complete the entire course.
Riders who reach the 12km mark after the cutoff time will not be allowed to continue and will be considered and awarded as an intermediate rider.
This also means all participants will have the possibility to compete for the world championship title.
With these changes we hope to have a more spectator-friendly Cross Country race, where any participant could win the world championship title.
Be safe. Have fun. Ride fast.
