2003 American Mountain Bike Challenge

AMBC events are good places for those riders who are just entering the racing scene. The races allow riders to test their abilities in a low-key atmosphere, without a lot of pressure. The pro and expert races give more experienced riders a taste of real competition, as they face some of the most challenging courses and talented riders in the country.

In addition to the citizen races, AMBC events also host the Junior Olympic Mountain Bike Series and the Shimano Youth Series. The Junior Olympic series offers riders age 10-18 the chance to test their skills against competitors of the same age. The Shimano Youth Series provides kids 12 and under an entry into mountain bike racing. Sometimes assisted by parents, children ages two-and-up spin their wheels around a course specifically designed for them.

Select AMBC races are part of the Union Cycliste Internationale's (UCI) international event calendar. These races, noted by asterisks below, carry valuable points that can increase a competitor's international ranking or help him or her qualify for World Cup events. AMBC races also hold a high place in NORBA's national ranking system, just one level under the national championships.

Created in 1996, the AMBC provides racing opportunities for men, women and children of all ages and abilities. NORBA is a member association of USA Cycling, the sport's national governing body.
