2009 Dirt Tours season has come to a close.

Yes, its that time of year again...

In light of the recent winter weather and the quickly approaching daylight savings time change it has been decided that the Dirt Tours will be put on hold again until next spring.
Thanks to everyone that came out to run with us this year!

Please check back for future announcements on the status of Dirt Tours as spring 2010 approaches.

We hope to see you all again on the trails next year! Have a great winter!
