Echo Red to Red basic report

Hello,

FUN! endless singletrack, 175 people for a race in February. Washington
riders, Idaho Riders and a great showing from the Bend area. Pistis from
Southern Oregon even made it over for this roller coaster that had over 3500
ft of climbing on the long course. Great Job to Brian, Shane and the Whole
Town of Echo. The rain hit early and then stopped for the neutral mass start
as riders positioned themselves on this bump fest up and down the treeless
landscape. I am not sure if people have pics of the race on the course with
riders snaking around like ants chasing each other, but if you do post the
links.

Great to stretch the legs and lungs in February......it was nice to race

Oregonxcseries.org for points sometime late this week or early next week

Looks like Capitol Subaru and Pistis will take the early lead in the team
chase and Sunnyside Sports will also be up there as well

Next Race April 5th for Hornings Hustle

Official results to come

Mike
