Ripley and the gang have been pouring over maps, working with COTA and the Forest Service to bring some additional singletrack into the mix this year.

When the course updates are finalized we’ll post the updated map but envision singletrack, old growth forest and views of Broken Top and the Three Sisters mountains.

Nice.

High Cascade 100 a success…

Now with a week between us and the finish of the inaugural High Cascade 100 endurance mountain bike race staged out of Bend, Oregon I think its safe to call it a success.  80 racers tested themselves on a challenging, rugged course circumnavigating Mt. Bachelor, descending and climbing out of the Tumalo watershed and dropping down the technical Funner trail before ascending singletrack to the finish line.

The full race writeup is now featured on Cyclingnews.com here:

Thanks to all the folks that helped make this happen and look for a revised course next year!  (think more singletrack)

XXC Mag The Place for Epic and Solo

Hey, In my 20 years of racing and “living the dream” I can never quite express the experience of the ‘RIDE” Jason Mahokey and XXC mag does a great job of the vision that I attempt to capture in my life and when we build trails, relate, race, ride, and explore.

Enjoy!

Setting up for a great 2009…..volunteer, race for Free!

With more races than you shake a stick at, race for free at a Mudslinger Events race for volunteering before you race and or someone who is coming with you. My success relies on your participation and many times people will volunteer for many duties out of the kindness of their heart. If you are coming to the race and can help before your event an hour early or an hour after, I can arrange a discounted or free entry for such help. Maybe you have a friend who is coming and would like to help, then I can help you with a discounted or free entry. Limited positions are available and they include. Registration, set up and tear down, sweep riders also are needed for those not racing in the mountain bike events, but may want to ride the course. Please arrange such help at least one week prior to an event and thanks for coming and or Volunteering in 2009.

Thanks,

Mike and Family
