2008 Shannon Ridge Showdown Cancelled

I don't see any detail on the website, but I am assuming that this is due to the wildfires:

"Due to unforeseen circumstances, Shannon Ridge Vineyards & Winery has cancelled the Showdown event that was scheduled for October 18, 2008. We appreciate your support and your understanding."

Shannon Ridge Update

Little tidbit of information on the upcoming Shannon Ridge Showdown. Turns out it is being organized by the capable people behind two of NorCal's best endurance races:

"So now we've got another race on our calendar. But it ain't Bike Monkey, and it ain't Global Biorhythm Events--it's both. So if you think a barrel of monkeys is fun, hang on. Because in October you're going to get a 'Global Monkey', and that's a ripe banana."

For those of you not in the know, Bike Monkey is behind the Boggs 8 Hour race and Global Biorhythm puts on the Coolest 24.
