TWW is proud to announce the 2008 Fox Cup schedule. The Fox Cup is
our own little race series consisting of races that other people pull-
off. All we do is show up! Brilliant!
Matt Leonard (maleonardphi.at.yahoo.com) keeps score based on how you finish in your category.
The complete description if the scoring system is published
somewhere, but basically, if you beat 60% of the racers in your
category, you receive about 60 points plus five for finishing. Bonus
points for top 5.
New for 2008: 5 bonus points if you include a modest race report.
Briefly describe the venue, the lineup, the start, events in the
race, how it unfolded, the finish, etc. A few paragraphs is all it
takes.
So when you go to these races, take a look at not only what place you
finished, but how many total racers were in your group. Then send the
numbers to Matt. High score recives some schwag from our sponsors.
You don't have to win your race to have the high score and take home
some goodies. Schweet!
At the end of September we announce the series winner. We take your
top 4 scores from seven potential races.

When: DATES TBD
Details: ROMP is partnering with the City of Belmont to build a new trail system in Water Dog Lake Park.

Meet at the entrance at end of Carlmont Drive. For more info contact Belmont Parks and Recreation Dept. at 650-595-7441. RSVP with Berry Stevens (650-364-6785 or
bt3mtbiker@earthlink.net). Bring food and water and wear long sleeves and pants for poison oak protection (though we try to avoid it, some contact is inevitable).
