2012 MMBA Championship Points Series schedule

from the MMBA.ORG website

Championship Points Series (CPS)

The Championship Point Series (CPS) is Michigan's premier grassroots racing series. The CPS raises funds to support local chapters in their ongoing advocacy work and trail improvements. The Series supports state-level advocacy.
The race series attracts all levels of racers from the first-timer to national and world champions. The races are exciting and competitive, as well as beginner friendly for those wishing to try their first mountain bike race. See the CPS Rules link for more information.

All Racers are welcome to compete in the Championship Point Series. No license is required but you must register for the series on BikeReg to have your points tabulated.

When I started racing in Michigan in 2004 this series was my introduction to the local race scene. The series forced me to drive to new locations throughout the state and I met a lot of great folks along the way. That first year I dove in and raced 13 of the 14 race series. Since then I have moved in other directions, raced in other series and the series became a tad stale for me. The new schedule has been pared down to 10 races and features several new venues. I may have to add a few into this years schedule.
