This years national championships mtb race in Sol Vista, Colorado is bringing in some young superstars to the state for some extra training. 13 year old Luke Allen is here in Durango for 2 weeks to prepare for the extra demands the elevation will place on him in the 13-14 cross country race in late July. Luke recently did well in a pro tour race in Alabama. Here’s his post race interview. In two weeks another rider from Steamboat Springs will be tagging along with the U-19 boys team to have a good time and get in some training.

Its raining and its pouring. Tonights short track race is looking like cancellation as of now. An official call will be made right here by 2pm. There is a course option that might work, utilizing the roads around the factory trails. Stay tuned.
