Hello,

Well, with Bear Springs moving to 5/18 who will get the early lead in the
series this week before the Spring Thaw on 5/3. Capitol Subaru beat out Team
S&M the first round at Hornings and will another team step up and claim the
lead in the series team Competition. I do know one thing---Pistis has a real
balanced team of riders coming from Grants Pass and will score points. The
competition in the Pro and Semi-pro's should be intense as new Pro's and old
Pro's will take each other one over the 4000+ ft of climbing. Check out
www.oregonxcseries.org for rules, points, and updates and I hope to see old
and new faces alike this Sunday.
One more thing---3 cross bikes came last year and 2 got podium
finishes-----hint----cross bikes work and can rail the trails.
