Every Spring mountain bikers in Southern Oregon celebrate the receding snow line of Mount Ashland and the uncovering of Summer riding trails. The Spring Thaw, now in it’s 21st year is a two day event of competitive cross-country and exciting downhill racing on a very beautiful course.

Race promoters, Echelon Events, did a fantastic job taking over the reigns in 2011 and organized and put on a great race! For 2012, they invited GMiX Designs to design promotions with them and its been a really fun project to work on.

One of the coolest components of the project was designing the shiny medals for the riders that earn a spot on the podium. The gold, silver, and bronze medallions turned out quite fancy and I look forward to designing more; Echelon Events is organizing a couple more races this year, including the 2012 XC & Super D OBRA Oregon State Championships!
