From Mike Hecker:
Just today 2/7/07 Team Big Bear (Promoter of the NMBS or better known
as the NORBA National Series) and SG Productions have reached a
tentative agreement on a deal that will make the 8th Annual Firestone
SYV Classic presented by Platinum Performance the second stop in the
National Mountain Bike Series, the most prestigious mountain bike race
series in the history of the sport.
Late last week the venue in Sonoma, the scheduled fourth round stop of
the NMBS abruptly withdrew its commitment to the series. This
resulted in Team Big Bear approaching us at SG Productions to see if
we would have interest in stepping up and helping them fulfill their
sponsorship and series obligations by affiliating our event with the
NMBS. Team Big Bear has provided the timing and results for the
"Classic" the past 4 years, and has first hand knowledge of the
dedication of our staff and the overall quality of our venue and the
event itself.
The first ever NORBA National was held in 1983 in the Santa Barbara
back country. It is an honor, and it has long been a dream of mine to
one day return a "national" to this area. We at SG Production will
not be able to do this alone, it will take a huge amount of volunteer
support, more than ever before, from the local community to pull this
off. In other words, we'll need a lot of help. The date of the
NMBS#2 The 8th Annual Firestone SYV Classic presented by Platinum
Performance is April 27 - 29, 2007.
Stay tuned as we need to update all our event info on www.ridesb.com,
we hope to have this all accomplished in short order.
Enjoy the ride,
