Kraig-
This event is officially canceled. I have exhausted every effort and still cannot secure the venue. I was hoping to bring some fresh air to the series, but its just not in the cards this time. I will continue to work towards this goal for the near future. Please let the committee and all the racer families know that I am very sorry to have disappointed everyone.
Sincerly, Scott Davis
The Polka Dots MC has some Good news and some bad news about our 2011 events.
First the bad news, the 2011 49er Enduro has been cancelled. After over two years of working with the Eldorado National Forest towards a five year permit to hold our 49er and 49er Family Enduros (along with over $20,000.00 in environmental analysis cost recovery fees so far), we have been informed that there is no way the permit could be in place in time for this year’s 49er Enduro which was scheduled for Sunday October 30th at the Elkins Flat OHV trail system. We will continue this frustrating process in hopes of one day acquiring the permit we need to continue holding our historic events on our public lands, and perhaps 2012 will finally be the year that we can again run both events.
Now for the good news, there will be a 49er Family Enduro in 2011! We were originally scheduled to hold the 49er FE on May 7th (Mother’s Day Weekend) at the Gold Note OHV trail system, but were denied the single event permit we applied for (twice). At the time we were told by the Forest Service that no single event permits would be issued to the Polka Dots MC, they didn’t have the time or resources to work on one, we would just have to wait for the five year permit to be completed. Well it seems they have reconsidered that decision, and have agreed to allow us to hold our Family Enduro this fall. At this time we are still working out the details, most specifically the event date, but it is pretty certain to be in late October. We are currently trying to work out a D36 scheduling conflict, we would like to run on our original 49er Enduro weekend (preferably Saturday Oct. 29th), and as soon as this is settled we will immediately let everyone know.
I would like to voice the appreciation of the Polka Dots MC for everyone’s patience and support during this seemingly never-ending process, and hope to see many of you at the 2011 49er Family Enduro this fall.
Curt Backhaus
Polka Dots MC – Vice President
