Actually this is not 'my' schedule. They are the UCI (http://www.uci.ch/ucinet/uci.asp?page=Calendar&discipline=mtb&ryear=2006&ridercategory=me&continent=mon&l=eng) races that are going to be around here. I want to race in at least one of those events. But first I want to do a few local races before I participate in bigger events. Who knows, may be I'll hate it ;)

Lowcel - we are looking at renting a house at Sugar Mtn NORBA race in June - want a room? So far it's looking like $50 to $75 a head. The house is 1/2 mile from the venue, has parking & a hot tub.......

As soon as I learn a little more about my work schedule (arts and craft festivals) I will know for sure. Do you know the date off the top of your head?
*edit*
I just checked the schedule. It is the same weekend as one of our two busiest festivals of the year. We make between $5,000 and $6,000 that weekend. I have to work it. :(
That festival is the reason I can't do 24 hours of Big Bear this year, which is the same weekend as the NORBA race. Busy weekend.

Going to be my first year of doing competitive riding.
Have first XC novice race in March.
2 x 50 KM & one other shorter novice XC events bewteen March & June & may try a 100 in June if all goes well if not will do that one but as a 50KM, havn't looked further that as yet.
No big plans, just see how it goes and get some experience this year - still need to finish the changes to my Bike before the 1st race - it won't be a race machine, but a lot better than what came as stock - if I really like the racing then maybe I will spec even more towards that.
Good Luck for yr season!

Hopefully I won't get any conflicts with my GF's road race (running) schedule. I've been riding for 8 years but just started racing last summer. I found out the hard way that being in good shape is not the same as being in race-shape, so I've been doing some winter training this year.

FINALLY! Things are coming together enough for me to have a tentative race schedule. It's been a challenge, what with our regional NORBA series not being run this year:
SPOKANE XC #1 / Spokane, WA / April 23
SPRING FLING DH / Mt. Hood, OR / May 6
BEACON DH / Spokane, WA / May 21
SILVEROXX DH/SUPER D/MTX Gravity Omnium / Kellogg, ID / June 24-25
UCI MASTERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS DH / Sun Peaks, BC, Canada / Sept. 2-3
BROKEN SPOKE FESTIVAL DH ( & WA State Championship) / Bellingham, WA / Sept. 9-10
THURS NITE RIVERSIDE XC SERIES / Spokane, WA / May 25 - June 29
They've dropped the 8-Hour Endurance DH from Silveroxx, doggonit. And I sure was hoping to make it to a National this year, but decided instead to save my "big trip" of the year for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to do a UCI Worlds practically in my back yard.
