Norpine Race Update - Due to icy trail conditions, studded tires are now required for the Norpine Race. Looking at the forecast, the icy conditions are expected to remain, but we will update you if anything changes.

Also because of the icy conditions, we have decided to lower registration to $110. There are only 25 spots left so be sure to sign up today to guarantee your spot! Learn more and sign up here: https://superiorcycling.org/norpine/
