Three Rivers is looking for volunteers to help out with the Murphy-Hanrehan Time Trial races on Aug. 22nd, 29th, and Sept. 5th. The time commitment would be from about 5:30pm to about 9:00pm.

Volunteers will be stationed out along the trail and at intersections to guide racers, or to alert race officials if a rider is in trouble. Volunteers are also needed to ride the trail after the race to make sure everyone has finished.

If you are interested in volunteering for this event, contact:

Trail was perfect. One very small puddle to wheelie through. A few trees down to climb over and a couple ridable. Kevin did a clean up ride before us.

Tom Miller had the fast lap at around 39 - The official timed course record for one complete lap.

[THUMP!]

Chris, I like your optimism, but I don't believe anyone will come close to breaking 40 min. I say a race-winning time of around 45 min.

Looks like John was wrong...man, that is fast!

Tom's time included carrying his bike over a large downed tree also, but I don't think people rode the rock garden loop.

I took some pictures of the event. check them out here.
