but
haven’t we had this conversation before (last year) about more
summer mtb racing?
We have that conversation every year...

There
was an INCREDIBLE mtb race this past weekend just outside
of Prineville. It was hot and yet it was also an epic race. It was
definitely
the hardest mtb race I have ever done (wore out my disc pads which I
need to
replace today). It was well organized and well supported.
I
believe the difference isn’t putting the STXC race on for the
weekends. I think the whole Monday night thing is great. I believe the
difference
is the proximity to PDX that so many locals can ride over after work.
For all
the people that drive to PIR, you have a lot more people that are
riding to the
race. Fortunately for us, PIR is a close ride and easily accessible.
It
definitely would have been nice to see more people this
weekend, but haven’t we had this conversation before (last year) about
more
summer mtb racing?
Just
my $.02

Subject: [OBRA Chat] summer mtn bike races
i
see the short track had 331 racers.
any weekend mountain bike races have that many racers?
i see the short track had 19 boys under 14!!
no weekend mountain bike race had that many under 14 boys.
maybe the guys throwing that short track stuff should move it to the
weekends....
i think Oregon Mountain bike racers are screaming their support for
summer
mountain biking. let's move them to the weekends and get even more
people
there.
