Happy New Year from Mudslinger Events

[Mike Ripley]

Hello OBRALAND!

Wishing you a safe and joyful New Year’s Eve and a 2026 filled with health, connection, and unforgettable miles together. We look forward to seeing you on the start line in 2026!

We added 30 more codes to our Holiday10 code for 10% off, and with the Price bump on 1/2 to end early-season planning, now is the best time to put 15 bucks or so in your pocket. Code expires 1/5

What's new for 2026? Well, how much time do you have to listen to me blah blah blah you....LOL This is the brain dump

2026

• New Cat 2 Men 70+ for the Oregon XC Series! Last thing I need is for the Older gentlemen to be mad at me....kidding, these guys are still living the dream and will be staged with the Cat 2 Men 60-69
• Teams email me for your Custom Team Code by 1/15 for your crew 
• Oregon XC Series Webpage with Schedule kicking off in Echo at Echo Red to Red 3/14, produced by Zone 5 Promotions, the day before Real West Gravel 3/15 with its new Downtown Pendleton Start and expanded camping options! HUGE Venue!
• Sisters Stampede will be the Cat 3 finals for the Series, and is 75% Sold out and will sell out in January, so get on it.
• Mudslinger turns 39 on April 18th and has the double trail run early am, and XC late am for an amazing and potentially muddy day
• The Oregon Triple Crown is seven events, and with Bend Dirt Fest anchoring the Oregon Triple Crown Series and also the Oregon XC Series (Cat 2 and above), plus a half-marathon trail run, the west side of Bend will be active on July 11th! Ride solo or combine forces for your team time for 2 or 3 persons. 
• Mudslinger Events is hosting the Northwest Tandem Rally on June 5-7th for one year in Cottage Grove, and we need sweep riders! Riders are coming from all across the USA and beyond for Tandem riding, and help out if you can.
• Oregon Coast Gravel Epic is a Wildcard for the series with 1% more points, plus we added a Medium loop, the Uncle Abomination, for those riders after 13 years who may want to go longer than the short Son of Abomination, but not the full Abomination distance. Day two, West Coast Gravel is back, and it's a perfect double weekend on the Oregon Coast
• Expanded Ebike offerings for Gravel and Road for Class 1 and 3. MTB is on the menu for future plans, as long as we can create that opportunity in conjunction with local, state, and federal rules
• New Trails has no Boundries program with a giveback to be announced in January, thanks to our Sponsors.
• High Cascades 100 is 50% full, and the 2025 Video will be released tonight.  Year 18 on deck July 18th, 2026!
• Volunteer and receive 20.00 an hr credit towards any event. Volunteer for one especially sweep ride and get that credit. All volunteer spots are located inside the event registration and email us after you sign up for that credit
