The Most Gorge'ous Courses in the WORLD!

Thank you participants, sponsors and volunteers for eight unbelievable years.  We are not planning on returning in 2006, and after that... who knows. Next year we will be pursuing some opportunities in Squaw Valley, California. For information and updates you may visit www.xdogevents.com. Many remarkable experiences have been shared, and many great friends have been made. Thank you for all of the support -- and most of all thank you for the opportunity introduce you to one of the most beautiful areas in the world.

See you on the roads... or trails.

-- Kevin and the Gorge'ous Staff
