Hi All,

I hope your winter went well, and that you're getting some good
downhill runs. You'll see an announcement below from Petra about this
year's world championships July 9-10 in Germany. I hope you can read
German! Also, I've listed all the downhill events that I know about
below. The West LA College races will also happen again this year
from May through November, but the dates are not yet firm since we're
still in the permit process. There will likely be one or more
additional races in the San Francisco area that are not shown, they're
working on a regional short course series akin to the WLAC races (1
day events that should be lots of fun). I'm also working on a small
GS race at Mammoth, California for August or September.
