Pisgah Triple Crown

We are adding the Uwharrie MTB Challenge into the Blue Ridge Adventures Pisgah Triple Crown Series. Yes, we know, Uwharrie is not Pisgah, and four races is not a triple crown any longer. However, we're wanting to add a fourth race into the series to allow for more series participation. With the addition of UMBC, the series will be best three of four races. Race all four and throw out your low score or you can miss one race and still qualify for series awards. More coming on this soon.
