THIS EVENT IS A FUNDRAISER FOR A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE MOUNTAIN BIKE COMMUNITY
100% of the proceeds from this race will be going to help defray the medical costs of “Wick”, long time are race promoter.

Wick, as we all know him, has been an area race promoter for 20 years. He is the host of the famous “Wednesday Night World Championships”, board member of Seattle Cyclocross, and Kore Component representative, has served as an integral part of our racing community . Currently our friend is in the ICU unit where he is battling a monumental infection that could keep him there for some time.

PLEASE HELP GIVE BACK TO SOMEONE WHO HAS SHAPED MOUNTAIN BIKING AS WE KNOW IT, SUPPLIED US WITH COUNTLESS RACES, AND SERVED AS A DEDICATED MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY.

Set in the idyllic shadows of Mt. Rainier, The Revival offers a rainbow of colorful fast, fun, and challenging cross country mountain bike trails creating a course that brings the mountain back into mountain biking and making you feel blessed.

Fat Tire Farm Fluidride Cup Round #3 Mt Hood July 9-11

The weather forecast is calling for 70-80 degrees and sunshine all weekend at Mt Hood Ski Bowl in Government Camp for the Fluidride Cup Technical DH Round #3, presented by Fat Tire Farm in Portland. The top of the track is now open after hours of shoveling snow banks courtesy of Todd Olsen, Eric Loney, and a number of other northwest rippers, effectively doubling the vertical drop from the last race. The dirt is rumored to be in perfect condition after last weekend’s rain, and the last bit of snow melt…things are shaping up for an epic weekend!

The FAT TIRE FARM is kicking down big time for this event, with extra cash for the Pro Class. The Evil Men’s DH will boast a $1,000 1st place purse, while the Loeka Women’s Pro DH will offer a $500 1st place purse.

MAXXIS is hooking it up for amateur riders, with a Maxxis Minion 3c for the winner of every class! This is an $80.00 prize – and there is one for every amateur category.

There is a NEW CATEGORY 2/3 woods section which has been added to the bottom part of the course, making the CAT 2/3 track, long and challenging. The most technical woods portions of the track will now offer line options for riders of varying abilities. There have also been a few changes to the Pro Track for 2010, with the re-introduction of the log step down at the bottom of the woods.
