Just got a press release from John Purse talking about a really cool "Challenge" race he is promoting down in Puerto Rico later this month (March 29-30, to be exact). So, whether your motivation is sun & fun, or to get down in the dirt for the dollars, this sounds like a really great way to satisfy the crave.

The Medalla Light Ultimate Dirt Challenge has a unique program, and boasts a “purse” (small “p”) that will cause even the most discerning dirt doer to get on Orbitz right now and book it up. Here's how it breaks down:

BMX Dual Slalom Trails Racing: 18 & Over Open BMXR Classification- PRO PURSE: $5,000
Mtn. Bike Cross Country: 12- UCI Pointed Classifications
Mtn. Bike Downhill: 4- Individual Classifications
