No more XC races at Ski Bowl as per Peter. He said with low turnout is
reason. This may have been the last one there unless MTB riders that enjoy
a "TOUGH" cross country course get it together enough to get him to put
another one on... and get the numbers there. This is not meant to start up
another huge gob of babble about numbers at races... fact is there were not
many riders there and he can make a better living doing other events for
riders. That venue is about as good as it gets... close to huge population
center, great place to stage with good support and BEAUTIFUL. Oh well! I
am old enough to know that nothing lasts forever. Short track tonight as
long as I stay vertical.
