Discussion: MTBO Champs

A while ago someone from this list contacted me about possible participation in the MTBO Champs for the US. I lost my old emails due to a computer crash and no longer have the contact info. If you are still interested in this, please contact me ASAP. I have an athlete planning to attend and we need to coordinate if there will be more than one entrant.

I had considered it, but my summer is booked. Not sure if I'm the one you're referring to.

wanted to, but can't afford the time off. next year perhaps. would there be some kind of USOF support?

I contacted you at some point about participating. It was quite some time ago so I am not sure you mean me...I still plan to be in Joensuu but I will participate in the Jaama Cup instead (the 5 open MTBO events held at the same time). The reason I didn't pursue entry into the WC is that I had surgery on my wrist not long ago and I won't be able to get on my bike at all until early-mid June, so those may be my first MTB races of the year and I won't be in top shape. Nevertheless I will be there at the races with a car and some local knowledge so I am more than willing to help out the other participant, perhaps even share a room if he (assuming it is he) is looking for one. I will be traveling from Jyväskylä to Kainuu Rasti Week and then down to Joensuu on the opening day.

Thanks for the replies. I think Rick is who I am remembering. The person who will be going is Carl Fey. He is a long time member of the US Ski-O Team and lives in Sweden. Be sure to look him up and root for him!
