First Round of Ultimate XC Challenge Now Online!

Two months ago, we put out the call to cross country riders with chain grease and fork oil in their blood, the unsung heroes of the singletrack to submit an application to represent Race Face in the 2005 TransRockies with all expenses paid.The riding community answered and now, Race Face is proud to announce the first of two rounds in the Ultimate XC Challenge is officially underway. We've posted the rider videos and bios for you to view and vote for who YOU THINK should ride for Race Face in this gruelling 7 day, 600km epic race in August.

From a father and son team looking for the ultimate bonding experience to co-workers racing in the memory of one teammates' 4 year old daughter, each of our first four teams have varying levels of experience and brings their own motivation as to why they want to compete in this punishing race.

And now the best part - the power is in YOUR hands to choose which of these four teams will win an all expenses paid trip to the TransRockies with full Race Face support worth over $10,000!

Here's how it works - go online to: www.raceface.com/uxc, read the four team bios and watch ALL four videos. After you've watched the fourth video, you'll be able to place your vote. Then check back next Friday to see who won and watch the next four videos in the Race Face Ultimate XC Challenge.

Until next Friday,

THE RACE FACE HOME TEAM
