It's That Time of Year


Well, it's less than 2 weeks to this year's addition of the Treasure Valley Rally. Last Sunday me and 8 other BUMS spent a few hours cutting back the brush and leaf blowing the entire 10 mile course. Our good friends at 495 Rental supplied some extra power equipment to help the job go quickly. The course is in great shape with minimal amounts of water and rocks a plenty. We've (mainly Brett) even replaced a cart road section with about a mile of new single track for your enjoyment.

For prizing we've got a couple additions as well. If you're one of those really fast guys or gals that race elite, we have upped the payouts from previous years. Top 3 in both the men's and women's field are getting $250/150/100. On the men's side we're also paying $75 & $50 for 4th and 5th place. For the rest of you we'll have our usual well stocked swag table. On top of that, Bikeman and Carver Bikes has donated two 96er frames (one for the men and one for the ladies). While the exact logistics of how these are being awarded is not finalized, I think it's safe to say if you make the podium in your race (unless you're an elite, you're getting cash), you will have a chance at winning one of these.

With any luck we'll have a nice sunny day and everyone can enjoy a post race swim in the pond. Oh, and don't forget, first 100 pre-reg get their choice of a cool t-shirt (designed by Scott Nelson and Son) or a free meal, so get on it. That link again is https://www.bikereg.com/Net/18101.

I hope to see you all there.
