“12 Hours Of Temecula”
“ SoCal Bike Festival “

Hello Racers,
I hope you all are ready for the upcoming “ 12 Hours of Temecula “ #2. We have been super busy prepping the course, making it fun and challenging. The June 14th race is filling up fast and it looks like we will have a great racer turnout!
We will be leading a preride of the course on may 10th. We will have 2 rides that day. The first ride will be at 8:00 am and the second ride will 8:00 pm. So you get a little taste of the night. Please if you are coming for the preride be prepared to pay the Vail Lake day fee of $5. You can check in at the front office.
We appreciate all the support the SoCal bike community has shown us over the last few years. Our series has grown and become one of the premier endurance destinations in SoCal. This series is for the racers, by the racers. That is why we constantly strive to make our venues better and better. For the upcoming 2009 season we have already started scouting new venues in and around the SoCal area. I can’t wait to let the cat out of the bag for future venues. But I have to wait and solidify permits. I am also very excited about the Bike park being built at Vail Lake resort. It has been a long time coming and the need is great for us to have a place for all styles of cycling to come together!
If you are not familiar with the bike park being built at Vail Lake Resort, let me tell you a little secret. A local world champion pro mountain biker has been contracted in to build a network of downhill trails to compliment the huge network of xc trails. Over time there will be a full shuttle service and rating system for the trails at Vail. A map of the trails and area is in the works and will hopefully be up and running soon! There are already a few DH trails in place and being ridden.
We are looking for venders who are interested in coming out to the events and setting up booths and displays. We like to cater to the industry and help out others business ventures as much as possible. We already have a great array of folks coming out to the events but more stuff in the venue area would be great. If you are interested in getting involved please email me at jr@12hrsoftemecula.com .
We are also looking for volunteers to help out with the races. The more people involved at the racers the better. Any and all help is appreciated. You will be well taken care of with food and drinks all day long. Please contact jr@12hrsoftemecula.com for more info.
A quick note about the upcoming “ Southern California Bike Festival “ Sept 6-7. This festival is going to be an awesome venue with brand new events for the racing and riding community. We are introducing a brand new event called “ AM Cross (all mountain cross). AM Cross is an event for the all mountain bike riders. It will consist of technical uphill climbs and super fun technical downhill runs. The total laps will last about 20-30 minutes. There will be man made structures and obstacles throughout the courses. The categories will include solo and teams of 2 riders. The criteria is simple, the bikes must be a minimum of 5.5 inches of travel and the riders must stay between the race tape. If you race a team there will be a point on the course where you will physically tag your partner. This format will be super fun and should be able to viewed by the public the whole way.
The short track for the Bike Festival will be unlike any other short track. It is going to be short and sweet with fun technical climbs and fast furious short descents. You have to have some bike skills to be good at this event. The entire event will take place in a completely visible area at Vail Lake. So you can cheer all your friends and family the whole time.
Also look for the fast and fun Mountain Bike Drag Race. This race will be a short 50 yard stretch of flat where you will go all out head to head with someone for all out speed. Short and sweet!
All in all we are looking to have a super fun time and give you all a great weekend of memories and challenge! There will be food and drink and a great vender area showcasing the latest in the bike industry swag. Also check out the kids races and the super fun crazy races for adults happening all day long!
I look forward to seeing you all at the upcoming “12 Hours Of Temecula #2 June 14th” It will be a great time for one and all. So come on out and join us for some fun in the sun!
