A New Chapter

Game on!

It's game on in 2024, as the summer olympics in Paris are on the horizon.  Athlete's and countries will be going all in on trying to get as many last minute U.C.I. XCO points so they can realize their dream of toeing the line in Paris for their country.

The Beginning

Scott Tedro president of Sho-Air International, a freight company located in Huntington Beach, California agreed to come on board and help jump-start the NMBS at the end of 2008. The long standing

National Mountain Bike Series was struggling financially and it appeared the former version of the iconic…

A PROVEN CONCEPT

With now a proven concept and a successful team, Scott decided to keep the progress moving in a positive direction. For 2010 the US Cup would further support US pro riders by stepping up to host a UCI sanctioned C1 round of the Pro XCT in Fontana.

TAKING IT NATION WIDE

After a successful year one, the Triple Crown expands East, adding stand-alone events in Massanutten, VA and Bear Creek Mountain Resort in Macungie, PA. Also an addition for 2011 would be the US Cup East Series featuring nine events partnering with the already established SERC Series.

CONTINUED GROWTH

Following a successful 2011 the Triple Crown would invest in having a East and West series for 2012. The US Cup's East Coast Triple Crown would include events in Alabama, North Carolina and Virginia.

NEW COLORS

With new support of Cannonade the US Cup hosts two stops of the Pro XCT calendar as part of the 2013 Triple Crown Series. After a sold out Catalina Island Gran Fondo it would return for 2013 as one of the premier events.

PASSION TO DO MORE

Sho-Air Cycling Group announces world-class cross country mountain bike series in partnership with USA Cycling. A four-race series, which would be known as the USA Cycling US Cup Pro Series presented by Sho-Air Cycling Group. 

THE MOUNTIE RETURNS

The US Cup hosted six UCI events in 2015 with three HCs, a C1 and a C3. With the success of the first HC in Bonelli Park in 2013 Sho-Air Cycling Group was granted two more making it the most UCI points ever offered by a since series.

BUILDING ON SUCCESS

Building on past success the US Cup offers a complete calendar of HC races with Bonelli Park, Sea Otter, Missoula and the Boston Rebellion. This was again run in conjunction with the Kenda Cup East and West as well as the Catalina Island Gran Fondo.

KEEPING IT SIMPLE

For 2017 SCG has stripped things back to it roots and is focused on US cycling events. With a country-wide reach the US Cup and Kenda Cup East and West series are experiencing record participation and it is a very good sign of things to come.

KEEPING IT SIMPLE

For 2018, SCG’s mission was to get more people experiencing the fun of bicycle racing.  We feel this healthy, family oriented sport should be on everyone’s radar!

END OF AN DECADE

2019 marked the end of a decade.

Long time title sponsor Sho-Air International announced it would be stepping back from the US Cup as title sponsor to focus on it's core business.
