The Primerica DINO Mountain Bike Series is proud once again to be part of this weekend's Northern Indiana Fat and Skinny Tire Fest, an annual tradition featuring road touring, road racing, criterium, kids events, BMX stunt shows, music, food, and of course the season kickoff for Indiana's premeire mountain bike racing series!

Winona Lake's 10 mile course is always among the most popular in our series. We offer categories for all ages and ability levels.

Proceed for 2 more lights on Center and turn left on to Argonne Rd. Go to the stoplight, under the viaduct and straight through the intersection. The road becomes Park Ave. Follow Park Ave through the village of Winona Lakes.

Turn left on Boys City Dr. Follow Boys City Drive to the main gate of the trail system. Primary parking and race start/finish/registration is back in the property about 1/4 mile. You'll have to drive on the greenway trail for a portion - use caution.

Start times on Saturday are noon for Expert/Pro and Sport, 2pm for Beginners, Juniors, Clydesdales, and Intro. The Shimano Youth Series kids race (free, short, and easy) starts at 3:30 pm. Awards will be presented at approximately 3:45 - in the village festival tent.

A rainy night and race morning dampened the attendance for this year's DINO Spring Tune-up. The Expert and Sport categories racing at noon faced slightly slippery conditions, while beginner levels starting at 2 pm enjoyed much better, tacky trails as the sun came out.

Although no real stakes were on the table, Gray Goat Sports did provide door prizes which were randomly presented. The event gave racers a chance to hone racing skills on the challenging course at Avon's Washington Township Community Park.

Chris Bowman (Gray Goat Sports) topped the Expert/Pro field with a 4-lap race just over an hour. William Toler (DRT) and Tony Silveus followed with about a minute separation between each. The top Sport rider was from the 30-34 age wave. Anthony Kunkler (Matthews Bicycles) slipped timewise just ahead of a sprint finish from the Open wave where John Wright (Delta Faucet) crossed the line just ahead of Matt Allgeier (Nebo Ridge).

Other winners were Chad Nay in Beginner Men, Mark Malaby in Clydesdale, Kody Hughes in Junior, Lesa Nelson in Beginner Women, and Brendan Kluszynski in Intro.
