Hopefully none of you fellow cyclists are relying on Uncle Sam to bail you out, but I’m sure you’re tired of burning $4.00 gas to get to events.  With that in mind, the kind folks hosting the MTB Oktoberfest are offering you a bailout you can actually use!  And, to top it off, this festival is the NUE final event of the year and has a $2,000 purse plus tons of prizes!

From their website:
Like you, we’re feeling the pinch in the wallet from the Washington/Wall Street circus and the gas pump. We understand and we are with you –who knows what deal they’ll finally come up withâ€â€we figure we might as well race mountain bikes!

OUR bailout plan makes it a little easier to get here, to stay here, and to enjoy a whole weekend of racing and riding:
- We’re freezing registration prices! The increase was scheduled for October 1, but you can still take advantage of the current feesâ€â€all the way up to October 17! And don’t forget, the more races you do, the better the priceâ€â€check out the grand champion combos.
