Here's my 2 cents-
I'd really like to see some growth in MTB and have been working with
Mike Ripley to see how we can make that vision come true.
We are looking at many different models- including seeing if we can
get a high school series like the NCNCA puts on.
CX is very good for racing- and I would encourage folks to give it a
shot. It's also great training for all those cyclocrossers out there.
