Quick n’ Dirty MTB brings E-Dirty Cross back to Lake Hodges for its fifth edition on Saturday, December 5, 2026. The e-mountain-bike race runs alongside the separate Dirty 30 and uses the Lake Hodges Boat Ramp as its check-in, pre-ride and start hub. Check-in and course access begin at 7:30 AM, racing starts at 9:00 AM, and awards follow as soon as racing concludes; the organizer has not yet published the course, wave order, lap count, finish cutoff or end time. The announced field includes open men’s and women’s divisions for Class 1 and Class 3 pedal-assist e-bikes. Factory-installed motors and permanent class labels are required, throttles are prohibited, Class 1 assistance must stop at 20 mph and Class 3 assistance at 28 mph. Staff may randomly inspect bikes before racing, will inspect the top three after racing, and may GPS-test the top five on a flat one-sixteenth-mile segment. The current organizer page quotes $60 for Expert, Sport and Beginner entries and $50 for School Boy/Girl entries, with a $10 increase on December 4. It says online registration will remain available until race start, but no current 2026 checkout link is exposed; the old BikeReg destination resolves to a completed 2022 event and is intentionally not presented as active. Registration is therefore marked not yet open rather than closed. The event is a regional Los Angeles-area exception: Lake Hodges is roughly 110 road miles south of central Los Angeles and provides a specialized permitted e-MTB race format and trail venue not available in the urban core. The land manager’s standing public-trail policy normally permits Class 1 and 2 e-bikes but prohibits Class 3, while the organizer explicitly announces Class 3 race divisions; because the 2026 course is still TBA, Class 3 riders should obtain organizer confirmation that the final permitted event route and event authorization cover their category before registering or traveling.

The exact course and lap/wave structure are TBA. Quick n’ Dirty uses RFID-tagged front number plates under its general rules. Riders must start in the registered class, follow the marked course, complete assigned laps and cross the finish with the bike; shortcuts cause disqualification and incomplete laps cause a DNF. E-bike compliance may be checked before and after racing and by GPS speed test.

The race is upcoming. No 2026 start list, timing link, results, podiums, livestream or replay has been published. The organizer says awards will follow as soon as racing concludes.
