You want racing... we've got racing!
Feb 13th Endurance Race is cancelled!
All:
It is with great disappointment that I must announce the cancellation of the February 13th DORBA Frozen Endurance race at Big Cedar. The current trail conditions and the impending weather forecast are just too much to overcome to make the trail raceable by the 13th. The landowner, Trail Steward, DORBA Board, and the Race Director were all included in this decision.
Race Director Bobby Duncan and his team have done an exceptional job of preparing for this race, as well as attempting to find viable alternatives. Unfortunately, the weather has clearly conspired against us.
Knob Hills is closed!
DORBA Members:
During the last week information has come to light regarding the trail conditions at Knob Hills. The Army Corp of Engineers (land managers of Knob Hills) has closed the trail indefinitely.
No Street Journal Editor vacancy
Anyone interested in being the editor for the NSJ can submit a letter of interest to: dorbaDOTsecretary@gmailDOTcom
Read attached files for a description of the requirements. However, all the requirements are very flexible. We want to try something new and move away from dedicated software to create the newsletter and simply use the tools available through Drupal in this forum.
If you have any questions send me an e-mail.
DORBA Hall of Fame Nominations are Open
The DORBA Hall of Fame is meant to honor those current or past members that have made significant contributions towards furthering DORBA's vision of promoting the sport of mountain biking, land access, and advocacy for the North Texas area. Those contributions could have come in the form of administrative leadership, trail stewardship, or simple and constant dedication to DORBA through individual efforts. In addition to being recognized, that individual will be granted Hall of Fame status as well as lifetime membership to DORBA.

New Year's Resolution #2: Have a Plan
As many of you know, 2010 marks the 20th year that I have been racing a mountain bike. For a large portion of those years, I raced under the idea that not only was I bulletproof, but I could also get to be a better rider and racer, by simply riding my bike faster, every chance I had. To a certain extent that worked. Then in the 90’s the heart rate monitor came out, and all of a sudden “training plans” became demystified to the masses with the use of heart rate monitors. Or at least we thought so.
Boulder Endurance Race
The temperature was 26 degrees Fahrenheit when McKenna Holmes began to sing our national anthem. 178 racers were eager to start the 2010 Endurance Series at Boulder Park on a cold Saturday morning January 9, 2010.
Trail steward Mark “bent trail biker” King invested many hours preparing the trail the week before and the day before the race. The club appreciates all the work that Mark has done at Boulder Park.
Membership Milestone
For those of you who enjoy following club history, I want to share that I had the pleasure of assigning a milestone number tonight--
Member #6000!
That's quite a few folks who have passed through DORBA's gates since Day One.
