Final Results

April:

We had about 8 team members show up for the third annual Prairie Roubaix presened by Speed Theory. Weather conditions were great and new member Shawn B. ended up winning the A category.

May:

We have many team members heading down to Salmon Arm, BC to participate in the Salty Dog 6-hour enduro. Should be a great time as usual. If you were thinking about this race, it is a great fun race on a great course. Spots fill up very quickly every year so make sure that you mark it on your calendar if you want to do it next year.

In May will be the Summer Solstice XC race along with the 5th annual Giver-8-er race on May 26th and 27th at COP.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the return of the Deadgoat Blow Street Super Cross Race.

Our cross race was a huge success with great weather, a great turnout, great course (thanks Lonn) and a great bunch of volunteers to pull it off.

Results are on the ABA website.

Here is a link to a pile of cool pics from the Deadgoat Blow Street Cross race this past weekend.
