Let’s get ready for the LONESTAR FINALE – Our State Championship race at Bluff Creek Ranch in Warda!
We’re heading to Bluff Creek Ranch in Warda, Texas. You’ll get to race amongst the longhorns (kidding, they’ll be fenced in) and the armadillos (definitely not fenced in) out at a ranch that has probably hosted more mountain bike races in Texas than anywhere else. The ranch offers ample space for camping and a grassy infield with trails that vary from flat and twisty to the hilly muleshoe trace and palisades climb. Keep your eyes up on the trail and see if you can spot the alien and big foot!

The temperatures are expected to drop Saturday from 80 degrees to mid-50s from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. so dress appropriately and keep an eye on your inbox/TeamSnap for any updates as we move closer to the race weekend.
- Burn Ban – There is currently a burn ban in effect, but the league will watch county websites closely this week in case it is lifted. This means NO ember producing flames allowed.

- Waiver – Anyone attending the Lonestar Finale — including students, coaches, and family members — must complete this waiver. It covers all venues for the season.

- Volunteers – These amazing weekends are the work of many, many, many helping hands. No experience necessary—we’ll provide the training and adoration. To sign up for a volunteer position, click here.
- Podiums – We will celebrate our State Championship podiums all together, once everyone is off the race course and infield is cleaned up. It should be ~3:00 p.m. Please stay throughout podiums to cheer on everyone’s hard work.
