We need your help this Saturday with race course prep and clean-up at Platte River State Park, Louisville, NE. Volunteers will be helping with grooming and marking the race course in preparation for the Mountain Bike Battle Royale, Saturday, May 14th. A brand new section has been cut in the 001 trail to re-route erosion issues. In order for this section to be dialed in for the race we need your help! Volunteers will meet at the Wild Turkey parking lot and work from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. We will ride the new section after working! Please bring gloves, water, lopers, weed whackers, etc. We will have trail building tools available. This is an excellent opportunity to learn how to build trails from the knowledge we gained from the IMBA Trail Crew. For more information, contact Jesse Petersen: artpedaler@hotmail.com |

Featured Stories
Kent McNeill along with a few others have been busy the last month and a half. France last month and Leadville 100 this month. Kent was kind enough to regale us with his account of their adventures.
2008 E’tape Du Tour
This year was supposed to be easier. I suppose in terms of mileage and total elevation gain, it was. Our route from Pau over the Tourmalet and then to the top of Hautacam was 108 miles with 11,600 feet of climbing. The past couple of years our routes have been from 125-150 miles with 13,000 to 14,000 feet of climbing and we have ridden in extreme heat conditions. This swung us to the other end of the spectrum. Hypothermia!

"The Race Across The Sky" Leadville Trail 100
"Your from Nebraska?" the gal at medical check in asked. "Yes" Steve replied. "So you’re taking the high altitude medication Diamox then?" she asked. "No" Steve replied, having never heard of it. "Oh Boy!" she said with a tone of amazement and worry. "Good Luck!"
