*** Wenatchee Valley bike festival canceled ***

WENATCHEE, WASHINGTON — 08/18/2005
The Red Hook Wenatchee Valley
Mountain Bike Festival is off for this year.

The event was planned for Oct. 6-9 but a lack of motel
rooms has canceled the event. A soccer tournament the
same weekend forced the change.

“There’s not any beds in town that weekend,” said organizer
David Stipe. “Once we started to call around, we realized the
we didn’t have any beds for people coming in from out of town.”

The event planned organized rides to the Mission Ridge Ski
Area, Devil’s Gulch, Entiat River and other local trails for
various skill levels. The event was to be the same weekend
as the Methow Valley Bike Festival.

Instead, the Wenatchee Valley event will be rescheduled for
likely the end of September or early October in 2006, Stipe
said.

The event was going to be limited to 200 participants.

“I was a little surprised by the interest,” said Stipe, the general
manager at Arlberg Sports in Wenatchee. “I was expecting to
have to turn people away.”

Stipe added planning for next year’s event will start by October.

“We want to make decisions so we can be
able to hold rooms for our event,” Stipe said.
