  Annie Brokaw Passes 

So sad to relay this news from Bill:
A Merry Christmas wish to you from the Brokaw house.

The snow is coming off the mountain right now, so it looks like a white Christmas in the making. But I would swap any of the last fifty two Christmases for it. My Annie went to Jesus last Saturday the 22nd. Her seven year experience with cancer finally came to an end. It was a joy to take care of her these last months and she actually only had real problems since June, and never pain beyond what ibuprofen could control and that not requiring regular doses. So that was a blessing, but she did get very weak, which bothered her the most. So this is a crappy message to send out on Christmas day but this is the first time I have had some down time to do it, as you might imagine. Memorial service will be January 7th, 10:30 AM, at Central Christian Church, 20th and Pikes Peak Ave. Colorado Springs. A Monday naturally, as the bike shops are closed.

So tip a cup of nog to Annie's memory if you would.

Thanks friends

Bill Brokaw

  AMA-NATC - 2008 NATIONAL OBSERVED TRIALS SERIES SCHEDULE 

Dallas TX – The annual meeting of the North American Trials Council (NATC) concluded on Sunday October 28, 2007 with a new, condensed national schedule for the coming USA National Observed Trials season in 2008.

In response to concerns from riders and importers regarding increased travel costs, NATC streamlines 2008 National series.

“The 2008 competition year will have a six (6) round series, making it easier for all to attend multiple national events. They are to be held at two world-class trials location sites, each using a three (3-day) format”, noted Brian Behling NATC C.E.O.

This six event series staged at only two locations, (Cańon City CO, and Spirit Mountain, Duluth MN), will enable the Importer Pro-teams and National Trials competitors to plan their calendars to make these two sites in 2008. It will dramatically reduce travel costs; even with the increased entry fees for ’08, this lower event count will be good for all. “We are excited by the initial response we have had from the trials community on this 2008 series and feel it will be good for the long-term growth of the sport,” said Behling.
