The schedule has been posted!!

allison · 02-07-2008, 08:41 AM

That is seriously confusing!

Looks like unless I race Sport I won't get to race with anyone, and I'm already hoping to be bumped to Expert prior. All alone for DH!

How so? I've never raced there before and can't find much info on it.

I'll be rocking Men's Sport 19-26 BTW

When we were there for the race in April, they raced on the new course but it was not finished yet. It was like a giant Super D course and was definitely not a "National" level course. They are supposedly supposed to be adding to it prior to the race.

Here's a post from Mike, the ride promoter from Ride Monkey: http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=195143

Lots done this past weekend
So we had 7 people out this past weekend at the SGDC to work on the new DH course. We added 5 new pretty large jumps, a really nice birm, enhanced some existing features and added a ridable rockgarden with lines for beginners and the showboaters. It helped that we had the use of a Skidsteer and water trailer from Quinn Rental.

G-Man took some photos I hope he'll get them up soon.

We'll be there again this weekend both days, Sunday we hope to start the New Addition, a Pump Track!

Please join us!

Not when you share with Denmo!!! 2 Double Beds at Days Inn $98.00 + Tax.

There are 4 host hotels and you have to ask for the SYC Bike race rate. :-)

The 4 host hotels are only a few minutes away. We are staying at the Days Inn in Buellton.

Errr...sorry mate, meant the XC course.

Thats as extreme as it gets for me

I'm going to slam a dew and pedal up a fire road. And by dew I mean Gu. Gu2O.

That LBS here in LV really screwed me over. I lost my Dialled to it. I'll be going still, but it'll be on my Yeti. I'll hopefully have the Dialled all sorted by the time Utah runs around

Foesnasty · 05-05-2008, 09:57 PM

Is anybody else having a problem trying to register??? I keep getting an error message....

wrxkid · 05-05-2008, 10:10 PM

since this is my first race, should I be worried? Where should I be practicing?

Thanks
