May I use my September registration to pay for the November race?
I’m not in charge of that Stephen, but if you’re racing Masters Elite I would support you in that 🙂
We can apply a full credit to short course on Nov 9. Otherwise the long course on Nov 9th is an added $25 to make the full $65 and participate in rhe OC MTB Limestone long course (or we can keep it for the Dec 14 long course, your choice). Send us a note to info@raceoth.com and we’ll make it happen. Thanks for being the best part of Over the Hump family.
