Who's Ready?
Ok, some of us to take on the 400-500 who will be attending with bragging
rights on the line for the Series and to battle it out against all of those
Washington and Idaho Riders. I would bet that registration is over 325 by
now and coming friday to packet pickup is a great idea.
Details are on the Echo
site
Best 6 or 9 races for overall
Juniors best 4 of 9 (flexibility)
Team is Best 4 riders to cross the line, so now smaller teams can compete
with the likes of Pistis

Mudslinger
After Echo in 27 days will bring the 24th Mudslinger, Race #2 and here is
the link for either 12 or 22.5 miles of fun
Mudslinger
All who have *never raced the mudslinger* before get 5.00 off only if they
use the code newmudslinger when entering. (no coming up to me and saying
you forgot)
The trails are in excellent shape and lots of work has been done like every
year. I would not think it will be 71 degrees and no mud like last year,
lets hope for 60 with a sprinkle
We still have Specialized Purist bottles to give away for the first 250
registered so don't be a slacker and free pasta guarenteed to those who
pre-register
Also remember to bring proof of your OBRA license to the Echo race. If you
do not you will have to pay the 5.00 one day license fee, no exceptions
Thanks and drive safe
Mike
