USA Cycling just announced that Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA will host the 2006 USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships July 13-16 as part of the Infineon Technologies Cougar Mountain Classic.
Originally planned for the following weekend, the 2006 USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships have been moved up one week after a record amount of snowfall forced the event's relocation from Mammoth Mountain last month.
Initially designated as the fifth round of the 2006 National Mountain Bike Series, the event has been removed from the series calendar and will no longer factor into the overall series standings. Instead, the event has been designated as the stand alone, American-only national championship for all levels and disciplines of mountain biking.

 Last weekend the SBF crew rode their local spot in PV with 2004 MTX World Champion and Team Mongoose's Eric Carter. Eric was on hand with his personal quiver of racing machines including his two new signature bikes, the ECD and ECX, as well as the hardtail he rode in the Red Bull Road Rage. The SBF team and guests had the opportunity to try out each of the bikes on their native terran with Eric to assist in tuning the bike to suit their size and style.
All of the riders responded with very positive feedback finding both bikes to be incredibly agile and responsive, especially the ECD with its extremely light weight. After a few hours of riding together, Eric let the gang go off to try out the bikes on their own. Later, everyone met up top for barbeque and time talk to EC about the bikes and riding in general.
SBF always has a great time riding together, but we were especiallly pleased and appreciative to have Eric Carter come out and share his equipment and passion for the sport of mountain bike racing with us. With that, we would like to thank Eric for coming out. We had a blast.
