Hello,

Last fall I accepted the position of MTB rep for OBRA and wish the
outgoing rep Jim fisher all the best on his Cat 3 road racing season,
and wanted to thank Jim for all his service and friendship throughout
the years. First of all I want to invite all of OBRA to come and
participate in a mountain bike race this year. Some of you may not
have dusted off your mountain bike for a number of years but from March
to september there is courses so varied and different that one has what
you need. First, some of you know me from racing for 16 years, and
putting on a few events each season, on mostly mountain bikes and the
occasional road race and cross race. For those of you that do not know
me, I have lived in the state all my 39 years, and I work as a manager
of Track town Pizza in Eugene. I have 3 daughters that are wonderful,
and with a supportive wife make my life as balanced as possible. I
take this responsibility very serious as do all of your time coming to
all of the great events in Oregon. If you have any concerns or
questions the month of february is a good time to e-mail me. I will
focus on consistency and growth for 2006 and I appreciate all of your
support.
Train hard and I will be posting new programs and stuff to come

Thanks
Mike Ripley
