2003 Winners

The 2002-2003 Paydirt program was another success story in the State of Texas. With the addition this year of the Subaru Trail Doctors, Ryan Spates and Susan Stormer, the word about paydirt was well advertised at each of the spring races. The paydirt program has been instrumental in opening new trail throughout the state, as well as continuing to show land managers that the mountain bike community is willing and able to help keep the trails open! This year, 343 mountain bikers took part in the program, logging an impressive 5183.25 hours on 75 different public and private properties. Once again Bicycle Sport Shop donated prizes for the raffle, which took place at Broken Oak in May. Bicycles Outback stepped up to the plate to donate prizes for the juniors 14 & under that completed their 3-5 hours of trailwork also. The big winner of the day was Rick Morris who walked away with a brand new Specialized Epic S-Works Frame thanks to Bicycle Sport Shop. Work has already begun for credit towards the 2004 Spring Championship Series, so in this down time from racing, break out that McCloed and go fix that washed out trail down at the local park!! Congratulations to all the winners!

2002 Winners

The Texas Mountain Bike Association is proud to announce the winners of the Bicycle Sport Shop paydirt program for 2002. The top prize, a Santa Cruz Superlight frame, won by Chuck Venable, was the envy of all the racers, followed closely by Marty Garza, who walked away with the Rock Shox Duke Race fork. In all there were 57 prizes raffled off, with the big winners, Mark Henneke and the Sollenberger family, winning numerous prizes with the completion of over 250 combined hours!

For each 5 hours a participant logs after the initial 10, their name goes into the raffle pot again, the more you work, the better your chances are of winning. The paydirt program, now in its 5th year, has continued to award racers that complete 10 hours of trail work to earn first place finish points in the 2002 Subaru Championship Series. This year, 362 racers participated, logging 4,816.2 hours at 59 different properties in Texas that included state, county and city parks, private ranches, YMCA camps, and national forests. Thanks to the Bicycle Sport Shop paydirt program, the quality and quantity of Texas trails continues to grow and improve as land managers recognize the positive impact of the mountain bike community in Texas.

Racers are already logging hours for the 2003 series, having a full year to complete their ten hours. The great thing about the program is that you don't even have to race to participate; anyone doing trail work can qualify to win next year's cool prizes.
