In a mutual show of support for both organizations, DORBA and FWMBA (www.fwmba.org) have agreed to allow members of either organization to take advantage of mermbership discounts for any club/organization sponsored event. 

As an example, starting this weekend, the DORBA sponsored North Texas Series, all DORBA members, and now FWMBA members, can enjoy a member discount.  When FWMBA sponsors an event, DORBA members can enjoy the same discount as FWMBA members.

Time to get your sleep deprived game on.

DORBA in conjunction with Terra Firma (www.terrafirmapromo.com) is hosting the 24 Hrs of Erwin Park on Sat June 5th and Sun June 6th at Erwin Park.

More information can be found here: http://www.terrafirmapromo.com/events/erwinpark24/ with online registration further down the page.

As a special bonus, there is a DORBA member discount.  Register online or in person, but for every DORBA member, there is a $25 discount that will be given at the registion table onsite.  So, if you register online, you will get $25 in cash at registration check in at the race.  Want to become a DORBA member?  You can do that here: http://www.dorba2.com/how-to-join-dorba.

Once again, DORBA will host the Bar H Bash as a part of the TMBRA XC Championship series on Sunday, April 11th. 

As part of the prep for that race, we will need DORBA's help.  So, the following two days have been scheduled as work days:

The Ultracentric promoters have been working to get their permits and sanctions in order and in the last several days have provided me with the following:

Proof of insurance

Permit issued by the ACOE

USAC Sanctioning

Additionally, DORBA has been given this guarantee by the Ultracentric MTB Race Director:

Luke Simsonsen has resigned as the North Texas Race Series Director. Luke leaves the position with the thanks of the Board, membership, and racers.

With two races remaining in the series, the DORBA Board has asked Ben Thornton to step in and serve as the Race Director for the North Texas Series. He has accepted, and was appointed by the Board in an Executive Session.

If the weather holds we are all looking forward to the race on Nov 1st at Sansom park in conjunction with FWMBA.

Ray heads off tomorrow for a jouney of epic proportions. 

He plans to ride from Canada to Mexico via the Great Divide Route.  All the info is here if you like to watch:  http://tourdivide.org/. 

So wish him well, and we all look forward to the Big Story when he returns.
