First Event Weekend

Written By Steve Lowery

Trail work

Before we get into the logistics of our first event weekend, I’d like to take the time to thank our student atheletes, coaches, families and friends that took the time to make the trails we ride on even better. The MTB community appreciates the work everyone did!

Deadlines for the week of Aug 27

The following deadlines are happening this week. There are links to take action in the sections below, but this section highlights the “TODOs” for the week.

  1. Registration for Cable: Thursday Aug 29

  2. Registration for Season Pass: Thursday Aug 29

  3. Registration for Camping for Lowe’s Creek in Eau Claire: Thursday Aug 29

Telemark Race Event

Our first event of the season is this weekend in Cable, WI at Telemark Trails.

Registration

As mentioned above, the deadline to register for Telemark (and the season pass) is Thursday, Aug 29. You can do this in Pitzone and clicking the “Register <Rider Name> for Events”. See the Racing page on our website for more information on Racing.

Snacks

Laura Conners (Middleton mom and former coach) has set up a spreadsheet for people to sign up for food and drinks to bring to the event weekends. While riders should still be bringing their own food, it’s nice to have some other things to eat and drink over the course of the weekend. Thanks to Laura for getting this setup!

Camping

We have about 9 families camping at Telemark this weekend. Should be a lot of fun! While it’s too late to register for camping for Telemark, Lowe’s Creek in Eau Claire is the following weekend and is still open as are all the other weekends. As mentioned above, registration for Lowe’s Creek is due on Thursday the 29th! Normally, there is an extra week between events, but Eau Claire is only 1 week after Cable, so we don’t have the normal buffer week in there.

Practice times start at 5:30 beginning Sept 3

We’re starting to hit that time of year when it is getting dark out at the end of practices so we are moving them to be from 5:30-7:30 starting next week. This is an important reminder for everyone to remember to bring their bike lights to practices. A few of our coaches have posted some deals in sportsYou regarding lights.

If you have any questions about bike lights, just post something in sportsYou and you’ll likely get a lot of responses from our coaches and families!
