Hey folks, the 2007 MORS bash is a wrap, and we’re throwing a big party this Sunday, Oct. 7th at Pablo’s Pizza and Tap House in Butte. Mark your calendars from 1:30 to 4:00 pm for some serious fun. We’ve got a raffle, championship awards to hand out, and plenty of drinks to go around. Expect some cool swag like Bridgedale Socks and Optic Nerve Sunglasses among the goodies. And hey, if any Montana shops or reps wanna chip in with some gear for our awards, hit up Dave Peck pronto. Our awesome athletes will love ya for it.

Big ups to our champs! Below’s a sneak peek of the top scorers by category. Head over to http://www.montanacycling.org for the full lowdown.

Points were all about those top 5 finishes, and a shoutout to those who lent a hand at events for extra points.

Team shoutout goes to GAS/Intrinsik who crushed it with 406 points, leaving Montana Junior Cycling Federation in the dust with 216. Kudos, Juniors! Enjoy that team dinner courtesy of Montana Ale Works in Bozeman. Sorry, no silver medals here.

2007 was lit with five downhill events. Major props to the 70 DH warriors at Lone Peak Revenge. Let’s get those downhillers on board for an epic series next time.

If MORS gave you a thrill, spread the word. Our numbers were down, so let’s amp up the buzz for our sport.

Huge thanks to Charla Carter and her crew in Red Lodge for a stellar event on Sept 15-16.

Massive appreciation for the MBRA board, officials, sponsors, and volunteers, especially John Coulthard (stats guru), Al Prendergrass (web wizard), and Don Russell (top official).
