Hello,

I have extended the no late fee until Monday morning for online
registrations and mail ins...so get them in and or postmarked by 6/15.

You can register the night before from 5-7 pm in the gym and or the morning
of as well from 6:30-8am.....don't be late please

finishing trail work this weekend, and getting prepped.....the trails are in
such good shape, but the Jungle has grown like never before after the last
heat a few weeks ago.

For those less inclined to race...I do have a one lap ride version of the
TOE, so if you do know the less race orientated folks for mtb they can
experience the race without all of the commitment. Also we have a 2 person
division with each member riding a lap starting at 9am and their time is
combined for 2-male, 2-female and Coed.

Have a great Weekend

Have Fun at the Falls City ST

Have Fun with your friends and familys and I will see you soon

Mike
