So, it looks like the end of the road for this race. I got this email from the organizer today:
"Dear Participant: Thank you for competing in this year’s Woods Hollow Mountain Bike Race. I hope that you enjoyed the event. Results for the race can be found at the following link: https://my3.raceresult.com/111301/?lang=en . Video of you crossing the finish line will also be available at that link. It should be up within a few days.
Some of you may have heard that this year might be the last year of the race. This may unfortunately be the case. I was informed by my supervisor a few weeks ago that it was decided that this would be the last year of the race. I was hopeful that I could change their minds and the race would continue, but I am not sure if my efforts will be successful. It might be helpful if you voiced your support for the race, and shared your concerns that the race will no longer be held. If you would like to know who to contact, I would be happy to provide you with the information.
I wanted to thank you again for helping to make this year’s race a success, even with the muddy conditions. I also want to thank everyone who has participated in the Woods Hollow since the first race in 1995. I have enjoyed organizing the race the last 14 years, and hopefully the race will continue and I will see you next year.
Sincerely,
Chris

I know it's not a "real" MTB race (whatever that means), but I'll be sad to see it go. I've done it like 20 times and it's always been well-run and fun. Plus, it's close and I'm done before lunch. I've asked Chris for points of contact we can send emails to to beg them to keep it going. I'll post up again if he gets back to me.
