XC races are scored according to category (Cat 1, 2, 3, Junior, First Timer) and class (age). Race length is determined by estimating how many laps can be completed in the following time frames:
35 minutes for Junior / Cat 3 / First Timers
70 minutes for Cat 2
105+ minutes for Cat 1 / Pro
The number of laps, or course length, will vary between the courses but will take into consideration time frames listed above. In other words expect to race about the same time at each course, with consideration to trail conditions.
Marathon races are scored by the number of completed laps within a 3 hour time frame. A racer cannot start a new lap after the 3 hour mark. Laps started before the 3 hour mark but finished after the 3 hour mark count!

All riders must present an annual license or pay for a one-day license. **
LICENSES:
Cat 3 / Juniors / First Timers **In 2010, Tim Edwards State Farm has provided financial support that allows Nebraska Lottery Psycowpath to remove the one day license fee for Cat 3 and Junior riders. Racers must still fill out the form but will not have to pay for a one-day license.Cat 3 riders are typically beginner riders, with a race lasting 30-60 minutes, and finishing exhausted.
Cat 2 & Marathon category riders must present a current annual USAC license at registration or purchase a one day license for $10. Cat 2 riders are more experienced riders and typically can ride for 2+ hours without problems. Race duration is typically 70-100 minutes.
Cat 1 racers are required to have a current USAC annual license. Cat 1 racers are advanced riders with elite fitness and honed bike handling skills. Race duration is typically 110- 140 minutes.
To buy a license: Annual licenses may be purchased on-site for $60. If you have purchased a license in the racing year but it hasn't yet arrived in the mail, you MUST show a copy of the form you filled out at a previous race or if you registered online then you will need to show a printed receipt confirming your pending registration.
If you have questions regarding USAC licensing or want to read about all the benefits of having a license, please visit www.usacycling.org.
NOTE: Only Nebraska residents with a USAC Annual license are eligible for State Championship medals. State Champions will be crowned at the end of the series, and are determined by overall points earned throughout the series.
Downgrades will not be allowed! Yes, we can review special cases, BUT they must be special, ie: “I lost my left leg in a boating accident and plan to race with only one leg." If you feel you need to be downgraded, contact us.

Rules

- Helmets must be worn at all times while on a bike at Nebraska Lottery Psycowpath MTB events
- Promoter reserves the right to adjust start times and mileage
- Promoter reserves the right to cancel / combine events and prize lists as necessary

Weather In case of inclement weather, watch nebraskacyclingnews.com for updates Friday afternoon and evening before race date. In our experience, wet trails on Saturday are often rideable on Sunday, hence: if weather forces cancellation, the Sunday immediately following the Saturday race date is the default reschedule date. Events rescheduled to Sunday will have adjusted start times to start later in the day.
The Course:
This new trail network is just short of five miles with over 800 feet of climbing per lap. The trail system is laced into dense tree growth in some areas and opens up into fast open stretches in others. A roller coaster area of fallen logs, steep ups and quick drops awaits riders in the middle of the system.
The Venue:
The recreation area offers modern showers, rest rooms, and running water. There is good fishing at the lake with boat docks available. The area also features a swimming beach, walking and horseback trails, a disk golf course and ample camping. The campgrounds are some of the nicest anywhere with both primitive and modern areas.
Direction:
Maskenthine Lake Recreation Area is located five miles north of Stanton and 10 miles east of Norfolk. It is an easy drive up highway 275 to Stanton and then north on 10th Street out of town three miles to the lake.
