Hey Guys

First off I can't believe its that time to dust off your saddle and head
east for Echo, great community support allows this event to happen as
riders from 3 states (and more) descend on the super cool town of Echo this
Saturday for Series race #1
Info here

Chip Timed for Quick results and many pre- and post event activities to dig
your tires into.

I have been lucky enough over the years (Every year) to get my arrsssss in
shape or at least survive what Shayne can dish out and this year I will be
celebrating my 16th Anniversary on Friday 3/1 at the Oregon Coast so I will
miss you all for round 1. (Its funny as when this race was scheduled I
actually forgot my anniversary date....ooooopps)

The weather looks to be 65 degree's on Friday and Saturday and I expect
some tan lines for you guys and gals after the event......The weather looks
perfect!

Check out the Oregon XC Series site for more
updates on this 10 race series for the battle for Champion jerseys and Team
Supremacy.

Best 6 of 10 results and best 6 of 10 Team results for the best team

Team Dirt will be back to defend as "A Chapter of IMBA", so this means as a
non profit you should toss 1 dollar bills at any Team Dirt member.....or
make sure to let us trail hounds by when we want to pass.

Will S and M take back the title.....Sappo Hill looks strong and I bet a
new team will be in force this year at the races.

I will be having Deschutes Beer to hand out from a Team Dirt member post
event for you to take home and have later that night for your post race
celebration... Fill in Mike Ripley in attendance
