Please just return to your home page. El Grupo will take care of your payment.

Please feel free to ask any questions

This is rough time of year.

It is hot. We are tired and ready for a change. Summer seems to have this ability to put us in a rut. I totally understand.

I want Durango to be an awesome Super charge to the soul and the catapult that gets us excited for the season to come.

I am confident that if we put the work in at Durango and then come home and stay honest to the training that we will be ready to have a great season.

However upon return we need to stay honest to the training and not miss, and really put the extra effort in. I do believe if we put together a great block after Durango that we will be ready.

So I want everyone to arrive to the clubhouse super excited to ride in Durango. Excited to get things going in the right direction.

The next few days then please do what you need to do to get excited. For some of you that means taking these days off. Relaxing, recharging and getting excited. Especially those of you who have been around all summer and working hard.

Others of you might want to ride. Maybe you have been on vacation and are just ready to get back to things.

Either is totally cool.

So please self select whatever you need.
