I know it's early in the season, but does anyone have any idea when Cal Muni Weekend might be this year? I'm trying to plan some travel late summer/early fall, and want to avoid conflicting with CMW. I know it's usually in mid/late September...is that still the case for this year? Santa Barbara sounds so enticing, I don't want to miss it. Thanks for any info.
I rode with Eyal today and he mentioned a meeting he had this last week with Horney Toad, one of the sponsors of Cal. Muni. Everything is shaping up nicely, including some remarkable natural trials props (trees, stumps, etc.) Hans is collecting (for the trials demo/comp), and a shuttle van system to schlep riders the 45 minutes to top of the mountain--for those aspiring the long, technical rides for which Santa Barbara is known.
I don't yet know the exact date in Cot. but I'll give Eyal a call and suggest he posts an update
Last I heard it was October 14 - 16. But Eyal will confirm.
It was supposed to be a dry weekend according to the weather records. Hadn't rained in the last umpteen years,... except it rained this most recent October 15th.:eek:

Orgainzers are in the process of finalizing a website for Cal. Muni Weekend, Santa Barbara. Should be up and running this week or next, and have all the vital info, with frequent updates as things round into final shape. The event's still 5 months out so the boys are totally "on it."
BTW, Santa Barbara is not really "Southern California" in the way most know and picture it. I drive up there (basically 90 miles from LA) every weekend to flee So Cal. Many of the countless single tracks start at the top of a mountain and plunge 3,000+ feet over 5 or 6 miles as the tracks wends through stunning terrain overlooking the ocean a few miles distant. Above and beyond the great riding (of all degrees of difficulty) and great folk, the place is flat out gorgeous.
