Hello

The 26th Mudslinger is coming up this Sunday and it is looking like 60
degree's for a High temp! Saturday is the Hill Climb for 2.2 miles followed
by a 2.5 mile Super D for an extra 22.00 if you are doing both events as
the Mudslinger Dirt Stage Race.

Its funny how the years fly by and I was reflecting to 1992 when we had 450
riders and it was snowing! The price of entry was 20.00 and Minimum wage
was 3.35 per hr. The long course was 32 miles and 5000 ft of climbing for
the fully rigid bikes or Maybe an Black IRD front fork or Manitou in red I
think.

This year choose 11 miles and 1500 ft or 20 with 3350 ft of mellow to steep
climbing as you sail around the coast range.

Online registration ends Thursday at 5pm to prep the files and you can
register the day of on Saturday from 10am-12am at the Blodgett School for
the stage race or please join Peak Sports and Mudslinger Events from 4-7 at
Peak Sports at 135 NW 2nd downtown Corvallis for some Beer and fun as the
series party begins for the next 3 months.

Special thanks to our fundraising groups the Blodgett Summit Grange and
Team Dirt who fundraise per volunteer for their programs.

The course sets itself up well with 2 minute staging at the start to sort

that much better.
