AN ANNOUNCEMENT

I'd like to confirm here what I said at the
Lifestyles Race last weekend. W.O.W. is retiring from organizing races.

Although the races have been a lot of fun over the years, I'm finding that the demands of family greatly outweigh the need to put on races. That's also the reason I stopped doing the Learn to MTB Clinics after 18 years.

I'm just in a very different situation now
than I was in years past and I have to
change focus. To put on a race I must
do so in such a manner that I meet my
own self imposed standards and I'm
finding it very difficult to do that at
the present time. That may change in
the future but for the moment I have
decided to step back from organizing
anything for the foreseeable future.

I've already had emails about the Winter W.O.W. for this November. Let's just say I need some time to think about it. If it
does run, and that is far from certain,
it will not be race, merely a great day of riding. I'm firm on that point. That's how
it started out in the early '90's anyway.

It's been a heck of a lot of fun and I've
met hundreds of great people. That's
always been the best thing about
bicycling. Thanks to all of you who
have participated at W.O.W. Events
and Clinics.

One last thing. I'm going to keep this website running just because. In the mean time it's a nice day and I'm going riding!
