Fools Gold is August 21st. And registration is open.

That's good, I was worried if it was the weekend before that it conflicted with my local race series.

Breckenridge 100 July 17th as per warriorscycling.com.

No Tahoe Sierra in the NUE for 2010.

 

[XC62701]

No Tahoe? That stinks. Any other new races to the series or will it be a 7 race series?

 

[Harlan]

Rumor is that there will be a new race or two. Keep a look out.

 

[6thElement]

No Tahoe Sierra in the NUE for 2010.

NOoooooooooooooooooo :cryin:

That was going to be one of my 4 NUE races then I was going to do the CCP100 too

It's a bummer but makes a bit of sense...

the last two years you have two great races in the series that were separated by over 3,000 miles and only one week apart...pretty tough for folks to consider both.

The Tahoe Sierra will be just as great regardless as will the NUE series. Interested to hear about the one or two new races.

Harlan, do you know about when in the year the two unnamed events might occur?

NOoooooooooooooooooo :cryin:

That was going to be one of my 4 NUE races then I was going to do the CCP100 too

I agree that having it a week after Shen and on the opposite coast was an issue.

Just bummed as I'd been planning on doing a couple of West coast 100's next year and luckily the Tahoe would have been one of my NUE 4. I'd pretty much got my entire race schedule for next year mapped out. This changes it

The Tahoe Sieerra 100 will still go on!!

The Tahoe Sierra 50 & 100 will still go on and will do very well not being on the NUE series in 2010. I think after the last two years being on the NUE series and then this year only getting one or two racers from the series showing up it was time for the Tahoe Sierra 100 to move on. Don't get me wrong it nice getting 260 racers. But 98% are from the west coast.
I think it's a good time for the Tahoe Sierra 100 to go the same route as Leadville and Cascade Cream Puff 100. I think what Ryan O'Dell has done with the series is great.The Tahoe Sierra 100 takes allot to put on. Not because it's the only 100 in California but it's all the red tape.
It takes over 5 permits just to get it off the ground. We also have to deal with the Western States trail foundation and the very large group of equestrian here.(Tevis Cup) as parts of the trail we race on travels along a historic trail that also borders a protected wilderness area. We walk on egg shells to pull the event off each year.
Large parts of the route are in very sensitive areas. Unlike allot of other states across the country California has by far some of the highest amount of state regulations and guidelines to over come to put a event on like this.
Getting trails built here is like getting a hooker to give you a free one!!. It only happens once in a blue moon.
Again what Ryan has done with the NUE series is great but, the Tahoe Sierra 100 doesn't really benefit from it. Fighting the enviromentental groups each year takes it toll on the financial end of the race as we end up putting allot of it back into the trails and fighting these groups.
We find that we need to spend more time on just trying to get the racers west of the Rockies to the event as the economy does't allow for allot of the east coast racers to travel this year. We feel with all the new young guns in ultra racing from the west coast and some of the strong Canadians coming to event it's gonig to be a good year. Having the Tahoe Sierra 100 Sept11-12 so close to the the Shen 100 is not our choice but, it's what the Tahoe National Forest service has givin us for the race date. If we had our choice of dates it would be a litttle later. See ya at the races.:thumbsup:
