2007 could be EPIC for SWVA MTB racing

With the arrival of the new year comes the announcement of a new mountain bike race at Mountain Lake for April 1st. The 'Dirty Dawg' will be the opening race for 'Series 5' sponsored by the East Coasters & Roanoke City Parks Dept. Stay tuned for more on this. I've already made a handful of trips up the mountain to scout potential race courses - things are looking good and the folks who run things up there seem excited to have us.

There is also strong potential for the 'Rowdy Dawg' to take place as a part of the 'Derailer Series' in the Fall. We are in talks to make this happen - more soon...

These two series can be easily supported by racers in Virginia because they occur with no overlap. 'Series 5' is a Spring/Summer series and 'Derailer' is a late Summer/Fall series. What a BOON for mountain bike racing in SW Virginia!! Should be a FINE year!
