RACE #3 CANCELLED

Unfortunately due to the standing water on the trail, and what looks to more on the way, the race has been canceled tonight. City Officials felt 100 racers on the wet trail would not be good - plus, it's never fun to be struck by lightning. We will be back in Park City at Round Valley for next weeks race.

Oh yeah, new course next week. We'll start up the road and make the turn onto Matt's Flat, then take a left and head up to Nowhere Elks. We will climb up to where you will be on the trail junction of Nowhere and Somewhere Elks (ridge top), from there around back to our start/finish area via lower Rambler. About the same distance, maybe a little harder - but not much. Then...we are off to Solitude for Race #5 - June 24th.

Information on Series listed below...See you next week.

Race #1 Results Round Valley, Park City (5/27/09)

VIEW SERIES INFORMATION IN THE NEXT POST BELOW THIS ONE

Thanks to everyone for showing for the 1st race of our 3rd Annual Full Throttle Mid-Week MTB Race Series - what a great turn out!

A couple things to keep in mind: Registration starts at 5:45 and ends at 6:15 - if everyone can remember this it will help keep things on schedule. We are typically there by 5:30, so if you'd like to come a little early - please do!

Same course next week, everyone seemed to really like it, so we will keep it rolling at least another week.

Please, no parking cars on the road up near the start/finish area - we need to keep this area open for access in and out of the Ability Center. Thanks!

BIG THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS
