GRANTSVILLE,
Utah (April 9, 2008) --The final round of the 2008 National Mountain Bike
Series has been moved from Tamarack Resort, Tamarack, Idaho to a
location that has yet to be revealed.
"We
are awaiting confirmation from a past NMBS venue that everything is in place
for the series finals to be held there, and then we can make the
announcement," said series director Jeff Frost of Bluewolf Events.
In its
fourth year of operation Tamarack Resort is in the midst of ongoing
development, but it already offers an outstanding mountain bike trail network
capable of hosting world-class competition. "Expected funding for some
key pieces needed for the NMBS is being delayed. To ensure that we can host
the best Finals possible, we are deferring being the event site until another
year," explained Ken Rider, Tamarack Resort Director of Marketing
& Sales.
"We
are still excited about going to Tamarack and we will remain in communication
with the resort. With so many epic trails, it's just great mountain bike
country up there," said Frost.
A press
release will be distributed as soon as the replacement venue for 2008 is
confirmed.
