If you've been lucky enough to get your hands on an EMTB, you, without a doubt, discovered how fun they are. For some, they are a life-changer, and for others, it's a bike that allows them to explore further and ride harder.

EMTB races have popped up here and there, but no one has nailed down the format until now. A new series is born from the same folks at NW Cup called Short Circuit. An EMTB race designed to challenge riders while having a good time with good people. It's a recipe for success, and I was fortunate enough to join in on the fun for its inaugural event in Port Angeles, Washington.
