BVC-CHAT Nearby MTB Racing opportunities

[Shawn Hokanson]

Hey all,

	Fall MTB racing is coming, so here is a listing of nearby races.
Races are grouped by experience (beginner, sport, expert), sex and age, so
even if you are 60 and have never raced, you'll have folks to compete
against. Beginner races are generally around 10 miles, sport under 20 miles,
and expert under 30 miles. The race courses are generally marked by Saturday
morning to allow you to pre-rider the course before the race on Sunday.  

	Many of these events will also have an expo area, where you can
check out the newest gear.

I am planning on making the Pedal Power and Double Lake races (I would
really like to do Huntsville, but will be in Albuquerque), and would welcome
any of you joining me (yes you, Lisa T and JM).
