Is Mountain Bike Racing dead or just NORBA???
CoBikeRacer 12 March 2005 07:25:47
	Numbers at the end of 2004. While USCF is still semi-strong at 34088 Members, NORBA is down to 13872 Members. Only 3 States have more then 1000 members: California - 3269 Colorado - 1498 Texas - 1034. Living in Colorado we have the Mountain States Series which is NORBA, Winter Park Series which is Independant and then a number of other NORBA races not park of a series. I see why USAC only upped the USCF One-Day Fee to $10 and kept the NORBA at $5 for Sport & Beginner. I think this $5 fee goes to promoters so they will permit through NORBA... So is mountain biking dead or just NORBA??? What is Mountain Bike Racing like in the rest of the country?

	I think MTB riders tend to care less about how an organization measures their progress or success, hence less of a need to join an organization. Also, with fewer MTB races available nationwide, it just makes more sense to do 1-days. If you race 5 times per year, why pay the equivilent of doing 10?

I think it is related to the Norba's policy regarding marjuanna. RVD

	In Colorado we have a few 100 Mile & 24 Hour MTB "Races". I guess since most of those are mass start it doens't matter what your category is. One-Day fee is small compared to the entry fee some of the races charge. Leadville 100 - $220 Entry Fee. WOW!!!!!!!

	Mountain biking is dead.... From http://soprojones.com/archives/FUN/harpursville_herald.htm Obituaries Mountain Biking passed away this past Sunday afternoon. Mountain biking is survived by several friends and relatives including Ned Overend, John Tomac, Hans Rey, Greg Herbold and many others. Mountain Biking had suffered for years and passed away peacefully in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. Contributions can be sent to Road Biking, C/O USA cycling, One Olympic Plaza, Colorado Springs CO, 56786. There will be no services but many earthy bars and eateries will be having memorial services this following weekend.
