ESAR News and Updates for February, 2013



   
Dear ESAR Racers,
  
ESAR 2013 preparations are in full swing, and we're super-excited for all that lies ahead in the Beaver Valley on June 15th.  This course has shaped up just beautifully, and features a great mix of spectacular scenery, fast and fun singletrack riding, optional off-trail navigation, and opportunities for use of strategy and clever route planning to bolster your team rank.  Further details are provided in the racer info package referenced below.
 
Remember that early entry pricing is only in effect until April 12th, and that only the first 200 racers to register will receive ESAR souvenirs. Guarantee one for yourself and each of your teammates by signing up today at www.esar.ca
