Snowmass National Finals presented by Luna
August 9-12, 2007
Thanks To Doug
Every event in every destination has many champions for the cause, unsung heroes who make the events possible. Doug Mackenzie has been just that for cycling events in Snowmass Village. A former Enduro Motor Cycle national champion himself, Doug understands competitive events and has been a key factor in our success. After many years of service to the ski industry, and most recently as mountain manager for Snowmass Mountain, Doug is retiring and moving on to full time family life. On behalf of Bigfoot Productions and the entire Rocky Mountain cycling community we would like to thank Doug and offer he and his family our deepest thanks and best of luck! How To Get Here

Learn techniques and strategies that will improve your climbing, descending, cornering, switchbacks, and anything else you want to fine tune before your event. Alison will take athletes on a pre-ride of the race course and show you the stuff that helped make her one of the best in the world. The clinics are free and open to anyone. The clinics are limited to twenty riders so sign up early. Come hear World Champion mountain biker Alison Dunlap share her stories, insights, and advice on bike riding, nutrition, hydration, training, and racing at an evening presentation during the National Mountain Bike Series. Alison recently retired from competitive cycling and has begun her next career as a coach for Carmichael Training Systems and owner/instructor for the Alison Dunlap Adventure Camps. She is also a current member of the 2007 Luna Women's Mountain Bike Team. Alison has eighteen years of stories and adventures to share from racing road, cyclocross, and mountain bikes and I know everyone that attends will enjoy the event.
Alison will also have posters and be available for photos and autographs afterwards. Check out her website at www.alisondunlap.com or email at adunlap@trainright.com.
