Tamarancho 1000 A Huge Success

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:07:24 +0000

Super Heroes!

Super Heroes abound at the 3rd Annual Tamarancho 1000, held on Halloween.

Not only were there riders who were super heroes but an incredible effort by Tony Ruggiero and the Parent Committee made this event a huge success!

Thank you all so very much for putting together an organized, delicious and well staffed event. From the breakfast burritos to the burgers to the lap counters and course marshals, it was, like the awesome Drake MTB Team itself, a well oiled machine.

Many thanks go out to Julia Voilich and the Redwood gang as well for their part in making this a great success. Drake riders rode 114 laps and Redwood added another 51 for a total of 990 miles! Add Coaches laps and we were able to hit the official 1000 mark to make this a true Tamarancho 1000.

Again, thank you all for participating. This is a great start to what I am sure will be an incredible season for Drake MTB.

Roll Pirates!

Team Registration Deadline Oct. 18

Howdy!

Hate to be a nag but……
There are only 22 riders who have completed the online registration
and I am sure that hardly anyone has printed out and signed the three
forms and turned them into Dan. No rides, meetings or Drake MTB events
can happen until this stuff is completed. GET ON IT!!!!

******IMPORTANT INFORMATION********TEAM REGISTRATION DEADLINE OCT.
18th***********

This is a reminder to ALL RIDERS new and returning. To be on the totally awesome Drake MTB Team, you MUST REGISTER ON LINE at http://www.drakemtb.org/how-to-join/#more-176 It is recommended that you go to the Registration Page and print it out, collect ALL of the information and then input the information online. ALL
INFORMATION MUST BE INPUT IN ONE SESSION. Do not fill out part of it then go do something else thinking that you can come back to it. This will create a large database mess.

Our new Website will be a key focal point for distributing information, news and events about the Team this season as we try to cut back on all of these emails that no one pays any attention to..

We will be using the information supplied by you to create Team Rosters, email lists etc. so if you are not registered you basically are not officially on the Team. Even if none of your information has changed since last year for you returning riders, you still MUST REGISTER again online.

Please DO IT AND DO IT SOON! THE DEADLINE FOR REGISTERING IS OCT. 18th! If you have some kind of issue with getting this done by then contact myself or Dan.

ALSO: you must print out the three documents found at the links below and follow the directions on those documents. No rider is fully registered to the Drake MTB Team until we receive these signed documents.

Roll Pirates!

How To Join

admin — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 21:01:54 +0000

Welcome to Drake MTB. Before you begin the team registration process, we have a few minimal requirements for participation in the program.

* We are not funded by the school. Money for the running the program comes from fundraising, sponsors, and riders’ families. A full season is a relatively expensive endeavor. Family donation amount and League fees will be made available later in the year. We have full need-based scholarships available.
* We operate more like a team than a club. Nearly all of our activities are off-campus rides done outside of school hours during the season. On-campus, school-time meetings will be rare.
* All participants must commit to at least two (2) practices per week, and to completing at least four (4) races in the NorCal HS Race League (League).
* All participants must meet the academic requirement of a 2.0 GPA. Riders not meeting the requirement will be suspended from all team activities until that requirement is met.
* Drake MTB events including the Tamarancho 1000, Tamarancho Trailwork Day, Drake MTB Kick-Off Dinner, and End-of-Season BBQ are important and attendance by all riders is expected.

Please discuss this openly with your parents/guardians. Drake MTB is a life-altering experience. We invite you to embrace it.
