Yes , PLEASE!

I'd loveLOVElove even more summer MTB racing options. Short track is great, but it would be awesome to see more summer races.

More technical = More better. =)

And thanks for working hard on the Kermesse. Bummer it fell through this year.

Thanks for trying Kris! We appreciate all the effort you put in to putting these races together.

On a side note, how about a summer xc series at Ski Bowl. That 6 hour course is awesome! (like you're not busy enough with short track already!)

Hey everyone,

Not so good news about the upcoming Helvetia Kermesse (formerly: Kruger's Kermesse)....

This morning I received a call from my friend Matt Furrow (owner of Furrow Farm) to inform me that his father - who is a co-owner of their property - does not feel comfortable with hosting a bike race at their farm, despite the full liability coverage, county permit, and other safeguards and commitments at our end to ensure a smooth and successful event.

Since we are now well past the window of finding a suitable alternate venue and get all the necessary permits in place to host this race, I had to make the dreadful decision to cancel this year's Kermesse. All pre-registered riders will receive a 100% refund of their race fees in the next days.

Hopefully we have better luck next year with lining up a venue for this great race and we can get it back on the calendar.

Cheers,
