Class act! Team Big Bear didn't only call MBA to tell that tomorrows Cal State Championship Series opener at Castaic Lake has been cancelled due to rain; they're calling every rider that pre-registered for the event. Yes, it's bad news, but not to the riders that experienced the MESP Bud Light mud bath at Castaic in '91. The plain truth is that the clay-like dirt and the route of the water drainage at Castaic rule out the feasibility of racing there during a continuous downpour.
That means that the first round of the Cal State XC Series will be held along with the first race of the Cal State DH Series at the Sagebrush Safari in San Diego on March 29-30.
The Castaic Cal State XC race will be reschedule on a to-be-announced date in April. For more information contact (909) 866-4565; www.teambigbear.com
