ps - is it okay to just tell the volunteers i'm riding single-speed after the race? or should i tell them before?

It might be best to email Chris right away. This way there won't be any more last minute confusion going on.
avargas714@comcast.net Don't tell him I gave it out!


Good luck to everyone. After looking at my watch at 5:30 this morning, I have to admit, I think everyone is right. No light will be needed. Phew!

I'll keep my eye out for you... what are you going to be riding, Pat?

OMR

The way I look at it is to go big or go home. I'm riding my Strong ti rigid SS. I'm worried about the cut off times but most important. I'm gona have fun!

I just need to find someone to bring my car from the start to the finish....

So Im doing CC again this year. I don't have a true "XC" bike anymore so it's just me and my 37lbs Coiler... wish me luck!

Hope to see you guys out there.

Sherry and Reed will be running people and bikes back to the starting line to pick up their cars.
Turns out I am working aid station 2 at the bottom of Holy Jim.

PS, you got some brass in your shorts if your riding that bike.

Not really......it is more about bragging rights.

The first year I did the VQ, I did it on my 34 lb Kona Bear. Last year when I rode the CC with Lacey, I was on my Coiler which weighed 36. You'l be just fine on the climbs, and just think of all the FUN you're gonna have on the descents!

Cost $40. Really small and light. Obviously won't touch my HID for brightness but it seems to put out a nice light, especially for how small it is. I plan on keeping it in my Camelback as an emergency light after the race.

It is currently on sale @ performance for $29.99. I think I'll pick one up today also.

[arloburns9]

That's true... last year I got pretty beat up on my hardtail going down motorway and upper holy jim... the coiler will be nice and comfy. ;-)

WHOAHH!! just noticed I got 5 thanks! WOOOHOOOOOOO!!!

[Ladd Jasper]

Heck, I'm just hoping to hit dirt by sun-up. Think I'll forgo the light, too.

#347 here, btw. If you want to shine a little something my way as you pass, feel free.

[slowSSer]

as for the concern about upper HJ and lower HJ, there's a sign at the bottom of upper HJ when you hit Main Divide pointing you twoards lower HJ. should be hard to screw that one up

[Keith B]

You dont even need the sign - the marshalls are there to direct you and make a note of your race number.

[Wrecker]

So far, here is what we have:

[FONT=Times New Roman]I suppose that no one needs Jose's number, cause we'll ALL know him when we see him [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Same with Andy, who the hell else is as nutty as those two?[/FONT]

[Keith B]

Oi I'm 307 Mrs.

[ThinkFast]

Between CC and VQ how many riders wil there be?
How many doing CC and how many doing VQ?

Thanks

[slowSSer]

oh, and by the way, the screenname is not sarcasm- expect me around the time cutoffs.

[Keith B]

I think there are 250 for VQ and about 120ish for CC ??
