Bryan and I are members again!

For those who have never rode out in the valley, you are missing out. There are reasons why us Valley locs stay out east. If anyone wants a tour of what we offer hit me up with a PM. I work a random schedule so I am available to tour guide weekdays and ends. If you find your selves out here riding afterwards throw us a one and become a member, everyone wins.

One more reason:

Just joined again!

Does anyone have any more info on the mission XC race?

I have never raced EVER(!!!) and I am SSSSLLLOOOOOOWWWWWW but I would like to possibly come out and give it a try.

How long is the race?

Expected winning time should be 1hr to 1hr 15mins. This doesn't mean the race will take 1hr for everyone who participates. The emphasis is on coming out, having fun and racing/riding some new trails that you might have not ridden before. Then a great post race FVMBA bbq at every event.

Please see below for the previously promised list of the FVMBA's 2010 Accomplishments and 2011 Goals:
