It's my great pleasure to announce the schedule for the 2005 Minnesota Mountain Bike Summit. There are a couple of details we're working out, but this is really close to being the finalized.

Mark your calendars now, this is going to be fantastic!! Highlights include night riding, camping, excellent facilities for the meetings on Saturday, the film fest ON THE BIG SCREEN at the Riverview Theater, a night urban/mtb ride, and more riding!

We are now working on lining up sponsors for the weekend and are developing details about registration. There will be a registration fee and at this point the amount is undetermined. The traditional Annual Meeting lunch and the MORC Annual Meeting on Saturday will be no-charge to current MORC members.

As with every event we put on, we simply can't do it without you. If you're interested in helping out in some capacity, shoot me an email at president@morcmtb.org and we'll talk details.

Without further ado, feast your eyes on the 2005 Summit!
