TripleRing Productions
Promoting endurance mountain bike racing throughout Montana
Hi, this is Bob Waggoner. I created TripleRing Productions and along with my wife Gwen, co-owner Guy Vesco, event director and new partner Gina Evans we plan to bring an element of cycling that I really enjoy to Butte and Southwest Montana.
Presently Montana has a pretty good Mountain bike and Road bike racing series, but not much in the way of endurance Mountain bike racing. My goal is to change that. I have spent the last ten years racing 24 hour events in the US and Canada, I'm looking at bringing that to Montana as well as 100 mile endurance racing.
We are looking at being part of the National Ultra Endurance Series (NUE). With any luck, the NUE people will like what they see and experience at the Butte 100 this Summer.

Road Racers and the Butte 100
I have received emails complaining that we at TripleRing Productions are excluding the road crowd, this is not true at all. Road racers are more than welcome to compete in either the 100 or 50 mile, they do however have to do this on a mountain bike. Mountain bikes can be Ridgid frame, hardtail or full suspension. In any option they must have mountain bike bars. This is usually the requirements at any race of this nature. I did not list this race with MBRA and I should have, for this I apologize. Just remember you are all welcome to join us in what will be a very great weekend.
Thank you to all that have voiced their opinions, they all count!

Road racers
Well...road bikes don't have triple rings so they just don't fit into the model! Just kidding, I love watching road racing. I just don't do it myself.

Your races and MBRA
First, it is difficult to imagine what the road crowd could be complaining about concerning your race(s), everything I have heard describes a great mountain bike event.
Secondly and most importantly asks the question, what could MBRA do to make your race better? Your races are unique to both the road racing and the mountain bike racing scenes that MBRA has a hold on. As someone who has dealt with MBRA as a racer and a race promoter I would urge you to keep your races MBRA free.

Right On Bob :)
I totally agree! So are you coming? Thanks for your comment, it is not a bad thing to be different and can only make the choices and quality of the Montana scene better. ~ Bill Martin
TRP and MBRA
Thanks Bob for ypur comments. Your beliefs and that of TripleRing are on the same page. Couple years ago I had ask to have the Butte 100 listed with MBRA's series and was told by their series director that very same concept. I thought about that and had to agree, we are unique and decided that we will remain separate. I'm happy to hear this from you!

If you haven't registered as yet and are concerned about not getting a jersey, don't worry. You will get one regardless but I can't promise the correct size.
