Mountain Bike Racing Brings Mountain Bikers Together

Singletracks offers free tools and support to help mountain bike race organizers promote their events online. While mountain biking is often a solo endeavor, Singletracks is working to connect mountain bikers through offline events.

Durham, NC, February 20, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Just in time for the start of mountain bike racing season, Singletracks.com is offering free online race promotion tools. Race organizers around the world can add mountain bike races to a free online calendar for exposure to tens of thousands of mountain bikers worldwide. Best of all, race listings are tied to online mountain bike trail listings so local riders can get the scoop on the latest events.

"We think mountain bike racing is important and we're excited to help promote local cycling events on our web site," says Jeff Barber, co-founder of Singletracks.com. "According to our internal research most people tend to mountain bike alone or in small groups. Races offer a great opportunity for large groups of riders to get together and meet one another while participating in a little friendly competition."

In addition to the mountain bike race calendar, Singletracks also sponsors both large and small mountain bike races and events. Sponsored race organizers receive free online ads and even Singletracks branded merchandise for race giveaways and prizes. Racers can also use a free online mountain bike training log to keep track of workouts leading up to the big race.

"Mountain biking is a tremendous sport and we're excited about getting more people involved. We're constantly looking for new ways to connect mountain bike riders and race sponsorship is a great way to use our online influence to drive participation in offline events."
