Please contact Greg with any issues.

The Quicksilver run is quickly approaching (pun).  Be sure to register soon.  We have no limits on this one, lets take advantage.  Please pass this on your clubs (Quicksilver club as well).  This will be a similar course as we had last time, but we may run backwards.  It's a surprize.

We will have Sockguy socks for you as swag, we also have leftover Sweatvac hats if you would like one instead. 

Thanks

Greg

Great job kids.  We will be mailing a prize to you soon!  Please contact greg@svendurance.com with any issues on this past event or points.

I did want to mention one negative.  These events are supposed to be fun.  While we need your registrations to make these work, we do not need parents yelling at their kids, volunteers, or other parents.  The slow zone is for all kids.  It was emailed, it was announced, and it was marked.  Next year we will disqualify right away if we are ignored.  It's for safety.

Please send us feedback as we are always striving for a better event.  Better location?  Better food?  Better dates?

Here are some samples of pictures coming up soon from Scott Schilling Photography.

The results for Fort Ord are up here: Results.  Great job by all riders.  The course was much tougher this time around.

How did everyone like being filmed by MTV?  I was a little frazzled.  But it was fun.  And Emily finished her race!  Great job.  We will let everyone know when the episode airs.

Photos are up here: Link  Please support the photographer.  It's a lot of work to come out.  Send the link to your familiy members and friends.

We do want to thank all volunteers.  My mom and Earl for cooking, all the course workers, course markers and persons clearing. Paul Thompson who filmed Emily with a helmet cam.  Without all of you we could not do this.

Please let us know what you thought.  Thank you.

The results have been posted for the Nisene Trail run.  Here is a link: Results

We wanted to thank all the runners who came out and did fantastic job.  The 7 year old was very cute finishing her 5k.

These events would be impossible without the support of volunteers who mark the course, work corners, handle food, and cheer you on.  We had volunteers all the way from San Rafael, Morgan Hill (South Valley Running Club), Fresno, and Pacific Grove.  Thank you.

We also need to thank the State Park Service.

Pictures are up here: Link Take a look at these.  They are beautiful.  Please support the photographer.  Send to family and friends.  It's a long drive and a lot of work.

Thanks 

The athlete guide is up for the Dirty Gear MTB XC race at Fort Ord this Saturday.  Please read thoroughly.  Give yourself enough time to get there.  Once you leave the highway it is still a good 20 minutes.

Guide

Please pay special attention to parking. 

The course is a lot of fun.  There are sandy sections so beware.  The famous sand downhill is like powder right now. 

I rode it on my hardtail and it seemed good. 

We are raffling off Look peddles, (2) Concept Bike Fits, and an Orthopaedic evaluation from Active Spinal.  Make sure to get raffle tickets and turn them in.  They are free.

Do not forget your US Cycling License if you have one.

Thanks

This event is sold out.  Thank you.

Well I do not think the weather is any issue this week!  This should be a great event.  I will be down a few times this week spotting filming locations for MTV.  Maybe I'll see some pre-runners down there.
