A note from Jason: The Fall Fear race started in 2001 and was operated by the Smyth County Jaycees group for a few years. In 2006 the race was almost cancelled. Wanting to keep bike racing in southwest Virginia going, I volunteered to help put the race on and it has has continued into its eleventh year. After doing this from 2006 to 2011, I feel like it is time for someone else with fresh ideas and interest to take over, so 2012 will be the last year I head up the race. I am hoping someone will step up and keep the race going for a while longer. If you are interested keeping it going, please let me know. I will take the lead next year for the October 2012 race and go over everything to make sure the next person or group is well prepared. With the new trails planned for Hungry Mother State Park over the next few years, it would be great to have some people come in with new ideas for the race and then eventually incorporate those new trails into the race once they are ready. Over the past few years, I have done about 75% of the work for the race by myself, with the Friends Of Hungry Mother plus the Park staff helping out too. So one or two people would be capable of taking on the role for a while for an event of this size. Contact me at cjcarrico@hotmail.com if you would be interested in getting some information about working with the race next October. "Thank you" to everyone who came out to race and work. It turned out to be a beautiful day to spend some time at Hungry Mother Park.
