Not to take away anthing that has been said, but this will all be a moot point in a few years as global warming continues to get worse.

At first the racers will be happy because the spring courses will dry out then in a few years time the racers will be begging for muddy races because the hot weather races will be too hot.

As someone who has raced XC for many years I don't care when the races happen. I like the change in weather/ climate/ terrain and will race the races I can race when my schedule permits. Mudslinger may be nasty when it is wet but at least we have that option. Some regions are lucky if they get 1 or 2 muddy races a year.

The simple fact is that there is A LOT of racing here in oregon and we are all very lucky because of that.

That being said, I want to say Thank You to the promoters and to the racers who make this such a wonderful place to race/ ride in.

(betcha didn't think I could get off the global warming tangent did ya?)
