We’re going to have to cancel the skills class scheduled for this Saturday because of the rain we received Tuesday and the showers that we received last night and this morning.

Since it’s going to continue to be cool through Friday (when another storm is expected) the course will be too tacky to ride.

We may reschedule the class to the first open practice session at the ranch on Sunday, April 9th. We have another open practice session on Saturday, April 15th.

The class will take place at the Flying B Ranch on Saturday, April 1st, from 9:00 to around 12 – 1:00 p.m.

One thing that may cancel the class is how much rain we receive from the storm expected on Friday. This storm we are currently experiencing is giving us a good soaking and if we get even a light amount of rain on Friday the course will be too wet to ride.

Be sure and check this message board Friday night after 8:00 p.m. to see if the class is still on.

1. FREE TECHNICAL SKILL CLASS “RIDING THE CYTOMAX SPRING MOUNTAIN BIKE CLASSIC COURSE”

We will be having a free technical skills class for novice riders at the Flying B Ranch on Saturday, April 1st. The class will start at 9:00 and use the Cytomax Spring Mountain Bike Classic Course to teach you bike handling and endurance skills.

The class is free but the park does charge a $5.00 per car entrance fee. This is not a practice day; it is only a training class for those novices thinking about participating in the Cytomax Spring Mountain Bike Classic.

Our open practice days will be Sunday, April 9th and Saturday, April 15th.

If you’d like to attend to class, RSVP at:

2. CYTOMAX SPRING MOUNTIAN BIKE CLASSIC UPDATE

We will be having two practice days at the Flying B Ranch for the Cytomax Spring Mountain Bike Classic. The first practice day will be on Sunday, April 9th and the second practice day will be Saturday, April 15th. There will be $5.00 entrance fee to enter the Flying B.

We had some confusion over the laps per class at the Cytomax Spring Mountain Bike Classic due to the fact we were not sure if we would be including the Warrior’s Trail, a very technically demanding trail.

We decided to not include the Warrior’s Trail for this event but instead redesign it and add some wooden stunts.

The new 1.6 mile single track we have built, designed by Jason Martin, Eron Boyer and Tim Panttaja will take its place:

The laps will be 2 laps for novices, 3 for intermediates and 4 for experts.

Those registering after April 15th will not receive an Event t-shirt due to the need to get the order in to our silk screener.

We received a lot of emails from the participants of the Vision Quest sharing with us the Visions they experienced. Dave wrote a wonderful story of his journey that we thought we’d share with you:
