Final update for the 2nd annual Cyclotopia Test Of Endurance 50.
The course is marked and with so much fun packed into 7700 ft of
vertical drop over lush green forests, through winding vistas all while
we wait for you back at the finish preparing the massage that each one
of you will get to sooth those sore muscles and a nice burrito to
finish your day. We will drag any bottles or gear up for you to either
aide #1 one or aide #2( put in the gym by 8am) to assist you in keeping
as fresh as possible. I will be at the super 8 in corvallis if you
need me or at cyclotopia tomorrow from 2-6 pm for registration. I have
two classes that are empty and would love to see a Junior and
surprisingly a 30-39 women. 74 degree's for race day sunday and see you
soon for a day's worth of fun.
Thanks for the support
Mike and family

TOE countdown

Don't miss out on the event of the season for the longer rider/racer in
you. 50 miles of sweat and fun awaits with tons of singletrack for the
purist and climbing to break it up. Massage, big burritos and great
support await this weekend at the 2nd annual Test Of Endurance 50.
Frame raffle, racks and swag. Either challenge yourself and ride it or
come race against your peers as some of the fastest teams compete for
top honor----will it be bicycleattorney.com with Rich Cramer leading
the way or will Erik Tonkin show up with the S+M boys to ruin the
party. Do not count out Santiam bicycle, Veloce/Felt or any of the
other teams entered this year. Weather or not competition is your bag
or just turning the wheels over and having fun, I hope to see you this
weekend for the ride of the season. The womens fields are wide open as
is the couple's race and the Juniors 19 and under. go to orbike.com to
register or I will see you saturday at cyclotopia from 2-6 pm or sunday
morning to register.

Thanks for your support
Mike Ripley and family and volunteers who make this event happen

Mountain bikers:

If you do wish to have a custom plate with your name and team name on
it for the 2nd annual Test Of Endurance 50, please send in your
registrations soon so I get them by Monday at the latest. Also I will
be at Picketts Charge racing and then after the race doing
pre-registration. I will have maps of the route and details about this
adventure. No time cut off so all of you who want to give it a go with
two fully stocked aide stations and great volunteers to help you on
your way. I hope to see even more women out there including singlespeed
women. For those of you who ride/race singlespeeds this is the long
course and I look forward to seeing all levels of riding ability tackle
the nearly 8000 ft of climbing and 9 sections of singletrack per lap on
this two lap 50 mile event. go to www.mudslingerevents.com or
orbike.com to register.

Thanks, and see you in Bend this weekend.

on the 1st Test Of Endurance Mtb race and or half marathon off-road

race June 18th. All people who register will still get a t-shirt. All

entry's postmarked by June 11th will get a free t-shirt and remember

to get ahodl of me if for some reason you want to race but cant

pre-enter. I have refund policy of 50% if for some reason you cant

make it. The course is looking great with two laps of 25 miles each and

over 4000 ft of vertical. This course has singletrack that the

mudslinger race has never been on so come on out and have some fun and

test yourself. We will be having the raffle for the Zen mountain bike

from Mountain cycles and also a Kona bike will be raffled off.

Pre-registration packet pickup at cyclotopia downtown Corvallis on

friday June 17th 4-8 pm. If you need a place to stay, some of the

residents of Blodgett are letting riders camp on there property. e-mail

me if you are interested.

Thanks and keep riding hard

Mike
