Richzilla will once again be putting on the BullRun Moto during the 2010 PugFest at Hillside Park this Sunday, Feb. 21st.
From Richzilla:
“Here’s the lowdown on the showdown. We are once again having the FREE moto event before the XC gig. This time it will be much earlier though, so that anyone who is racing both will have a bit of time to recover before the start of the XC race. The first heats will begin at 11:00am sharp, so don’t lolligag in the morning. We plan to be done with the Finals by 11:30 so you can change gear or pedals or whatever if you need to, before the XC start. There is only one class, OPEN. No entry fee. Primo prize for the fastest wheels. The race will be run like a 4x race. Four riders start each heat from random draw for lane choice. Top two riders advance to the next round. Run as many heats as necessary until we get to the final round of 4 riders. This will be a fast paced event with back-to-back rounds. No rest for the wicked. Save some for the final…”
“Also in even bigger news about Ray’s, today they are signing the papers for a massive Home Depot sized warehouse and opening another Ray’s MTB Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The projected plans we heard about the place sound like it’s going to blow the Ray’s in Cleveland out of the water. I’ll let you know more details as I’m allowed to release them. Till then, start making plans to make a trip to Cleveland and ride Ray’s this summer.”
I’ve never made it out to Cleveland to sample what the MTB Park has too offer but the photos and videos I’ve seen of the place look awesome. If this report comes true and you can bet I’ll be making several trips to Milwaukee next winter.

From forum user Deworms:
Spirit Mountain is contemplating running a lift for biking next summer I know it is a real possibility but is not for sure yet. It is being discussed,they are not sure if there is enough interest to make it worth it. I was hoping we could help them make it happen by showing our support for a bike park in Duluth MN. So here are some questions to get this forum moving. What are you looking for in a riding destination/ bike park. Would you buy a season pass if they were offered? Attend a build day to help maintain the trail system? Take a trip to ride there? Basically would you ride if there was The opportunity and what are you looking for. please help this happen post something they are looking for interest at this point. So help open more lift assisted gravity mountain biking in the mid west by posting up some thing showing your support and maybe we can help make it happen.

Remember way back when we had that night race? After months of tireless and unceasing editing, I’ve finally finished putting the video together. Enjoy!
