FASTLAPS is back in 2026 and still free to MVMBA members!
Now sponsored by Cyclical Nature Bicycles in Hilliard (just outside of the I-270 beltway Northwest of Columbus, Ohio).
MVMBA FastLaps is back and still free for MVMBA members! If you are a member, ENTER the SAME email you used for Step 0 series registrations prior to registering for this event. If you have any changes to your contact or emergency contact info, edit it within your series registration at the same link.
Thanks to MVMBA's new insurance policy, this year we have a non-member signup option ($20 per event plus a $1 processing fee per registration and you must do an in-person waiver each event, U18 remains free but must also have an in-person waiver signed by a parent/guardian; U18 signup for Highschool, Juniors, or kids classes - email MVMBAfastlaps@gmail.com or ask at check-in if you want to be in an 'adult' category; discount code provided for registered John Bryan 6hr or MOMBA XC Classic riders). If you signup as an MVMBA member, the step 0 series waiver link above covers the whole season and your $39 annual membership fee includes all 12 scheduled FastLaps ($50 family membership is good for up to 10 family members). Have you seen the Expert Voice discounts available included with MVMBA membership? Registration for individual events (as well as step 0 for member) can be found at Webscorer MVMBA registration.

Register on webscorer pre-event (hopefully before noon) and check-in starting at 5:30 p.m. on event evening to verify Activity Release and Number Plate. Permanent number plates (bring your number plate!) will be issued (first plate is free, requesting a number or replacement plates are $5 each). A signed Activity Release (legible signature, full emergency contact info - hopefully completed annualy within step 0 by members but non-members require on-site waiver for each event) is due by check-in and helmet required to participate. Under 18, release must be signed by parent/legal guardian. Limited on-site registration (via webscorer) may be available but is more challenging - late registrations may not be processed due to limited web access and personnel for manual entries (we are first going to give you the link to webscorer at the event, it's free to register early so just do it - we don't embarrass any no-shows with a DNS).
Please register before noon as we struggle to accomodate late registrations with poor cell coverage at the venues. If you want to precheck-in, make sure your registration and waiver are correct and email mvmbafastlaps@gmail.com before noon the day of the event (note that if you do precheck-in, you may be breifly listed as DNF if you are a no-show). Registration/check-in must be completed by 6:15 p.m. to assure your participation and on-time start.
Registering multiple riders from the same webscorer account? If you wish to register another participant or edit a registration from your account: 1) Stay Signed into webscorer, 2) Select the "Event Registration Page" button 2nd from the top on the right on the webscorer event page, 3) Select Start new registration or edit registration as appropriate, Many of the blanks will autofill when you start typing (email, emergency contact, ...).
FastLaps is a series of training rides at local MVMBA venues (typically Wednesday nights). You can join different categories ranging from tots on striders all the way up to advanced/expert (ages have ranged from 1 to 86). Come out and join us to have a good time training for our summer and fall races with a great group of people to motivate you!
All FastLaps events are weather/course permitting. Helmets and complete Activity Waiver required with check-in at opening at 5:30 p.m. and FastLaps riders off at 6:30 p.m. See https://www.facebook.com/MVMBA.IMBA for updates. FastLaps will be group (self-seeded)/wave-by-category/or TT start (sometimes with a double track prologue) on a taped course. The number of laps/course will depend upon trail conditions but anticipate 40-80 min total course length with roughly half of that for beginners/juniors. Prologue only category for kids or strider/no-pedal classes. Please shout your bib number when approaching the lap line to help facilitate pacing (currently bib # based).
