Hi Everyone,
I am sorry to have been so silent for a while, but it took me a long time to get myself to post this:
Many of you have asked if I would have my races this year. I have come to the realization that 17 awesome years of FredEvents have been enough. Honestly, Covid gave me the chance to reevaluate how I spend my time and, as all of us know, time doesn't stop and I am not getting any younger. I love the races and I love all of you who have come to race and support FredEvents over all those years, but I have decided to simplify life and try some new things. I am in the process of talking to some interested folks who will hopefully continue the races in '22, so HOPEFULLY they are not dead. I want to thank Woody Elliott, Barrett Wussycat and his Richmond crew, and all the amazing sponsors (plus the countless volunteers) for all they have done for me over the years. You guys made this family adventure possible. So, as said earlier, the races are NOT going to happen this year, but I will keep you updated on what happens in '22 once I have final words from the guys I am currently talking to. Thanks again for everything and I am pretty sure I will see you guys on the trails!! Konrad

Happy New Year Everyone! Glad 2020 is over - and hopefully ‘21 will be better.
Along those lines: I am planning to have the 3 MTB races on the same weekends as in ‘20. I really hope that things will calm down by then. As much as all of us want the races to resume, I cannot organize them and take your money in good conscience if I know there is a chance that Covid is going to f it all up again. So please be patient and wait for word. I will open Reg if it looks safe to do so.
Meanwhile I hope you guys all stay safe in these crazy times and get out there to keep the rubber side down.
Hope to see you sooner than later.
Konrad

Just to make sure - the Battle on the Ridge and the Battle at the Quarry are BOTH cancelled due to COVID. Read post below for details. Wish it weren’t so!!

Hi guys, After much consideration and back and forth with myself and others, I have come to the sad decision to not have any races this year. I am very sorry to have to do this, but it's a liability nightmare and I would feel horrible if any of you or any of my volunteers/family would come down with COVID. [ 136 more words ]

Hi guys,

After much consideration and back and forth with myself and others, I have come to the sad decision to not have any races this year. I am very sorry to have to do this, but it's a liability nightmare and I would feel horrible if any of you or any of my volunteers/family would come down with COVID.

The race is not going anywhere - I am just hopeful that we will find some meds and/or a vaccine sooner than later.

So for those of you who registered or switched from the Battle in the Burg, you have two options:

1. Get a refund

2. Leave your reg money in FredEvents and have a guaranteed entry to any of the mtb races in '21. Your entry fee is not going anywhere.

Please email me at [email protected] if you would like a refund. If you are cool with transferring your entry, no need to let me know. It'll be here.

Sorry for the crappy news and thanks for being understanding - trust me when I say that I'd LOVE to have a race.

Let me know if you have any questions and stay safe!!

So the way it looks we should be able to have a MTB race in August. I will make a final call by the end of the month! Stay safe and I hope to see you all soon.

Hi Everyone.
Just wanted to send out a message to say that I hope everyone is safe and doing as well as they can during these crazy times. Please stay healthy and I hope to see you guys sooner than later. We’ll see how all will be phased in, but I figure at some point when you feel safe enough, we can have a socially distanced MTB race. I’ll come up with some rules for the reg area, but once on the trail things should be ok. I’ll keep you posted.

In light of the situation, the Battle in the Burg is canceled. If you are preregistered, you have a choice of refund or you can apply your entry fee to either of the other two Battles. Go to www.fredevents.org for dates and details. Send me an email with your choice. Sorry guys and stay healthy!!!

Come Out and Play

Hope to see you all there!
