April 17th 2021
Welcome to the first and only XCO race offered in Oregon.
The Bone Crusher XCO offers a race environment friendly to all riders with a 4 mile lap course ranging from 2-4 laps. Our event uses the Madras East hills trails system just to the East of the Town of Madras in Central Oregon. These trails are situated in the rolling hills of the high desert and have a compact yet highly drainable soil for fast spring riding. The open trails flow through an open sage and wind into a juniper cropping with a fast and engaging descent with different line options. Maintain this speed as you pace back to start your next lap. With open sight and wide trails, passing will be viable throughout. Climbing isn't steep but the switchbacks require power and skill. Descending favors those who can rail turns and hold speed throughout. Come check it out for yourself! |

BONE CRUSHER COVID-19 SAFETY
The Bone crusher XCO is dedicated to bring racing back in 2021. What this means is that we all are going to be required to adjust our routines around race day. Covid-19 recommended best practice is going to be observed.
Please help us help you. We want to race, you want to race. We can work together and make it a reality without much fuss. 2020 was a long year but we are confident 100% that this will be a success.
