Pistis Mountain Bike Racing Team

Yes, I would say its a dead issue untill more people start showing up for the summer MTB races. If you want more summer races feel to put one on. Don't coun't on more then 50 - 70 riders if your lucky.

That was a very fun race last weekend. I have no breaks left. I did feel bad for any Cat 3 rider. They need a smaller loop for them.

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

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.
