ABOUT US

Organizer, Oregonian,racer, rider bike and trail advocate!

제 이름은 Michael Ripley이고, 1970년대에 교통과 모험을 위해 자전거를 타며 오리건주 유진에서 자랐습니다.

Andi와 저는 90년대 오리건주 코발리스(Corvallis)와 벤드(Bend)에 거주한 후 다시 윌라멧 밸리(Willamette Valley)에 정착하여 Myka, Rya, Phebe라는 세 딸의 가족을 키웠습니다.

We love connecting people, organizing events for competitions, working on trails, and showcasing the unique places in Oregon and beyond for a good day outdoors. I love to attend cycling events in the area and regionally each year, focusing on MTB and Gravel first and always a scenic course to take on.

Mike and Andi Ripley and crew

We do purchase insurance for some of these covered occurrences and would attempt to utilize it in the situation that an event gets canceled and cannot be rescheduled for your event refund. We have used this insurance once for the Ring of Fire in 2022, and the insurance came through. The process took 3 months, but it worked. In the end have to not have access to the venue or the route is destroyed may allow for this coverage to take place. The key point is any insurance coverage reflects the situation the day of the event. Canceling an event would not take place until we are sure we are unable to proceed.

Mail-in Entries:

We seldom use this option, but if you reject technology or do not want your name on the start list, please email us, and we can make arrangements.

Death in Mudslinger Events Family

We take events seriously, but in the event of an untimely loss in our family, Mudslinger Events will do its best to complete the intended event date or reschedule. If the race cannot happen on the reschedule date or the event cannot operate, a transfer to a future date will occur. In the case of a critical employee passing away, there is no guarantee that any refunds will occur or that the event will happen again. Who knows?
