Shimano Winter Series Race #3

[Pho'dUp]

Thinking of doing XC for the first time at Southie. Hmm, after everything I ate on Superbowl Sunday I should just about qualify to race with Neil and Maxwell in the Clydes division.

It's a fun course, and the weather should be great.

FYI - The 91 closure has been rescheduled for this weekend.

For last minute changes, look here.

I'm pretty sure I might be there......















...if the dirt in my ant farm gets changed and I finish rotating the air in my road bikes tires and my taxes are done and the fish get fed and aw jeez I still feel kinda sick still and there's something about doing laps that early in the morning that makes the covers way to heavy to lift and the pillow changes to a soft magnet and sucks the metal plate in my head down tight on the mattress and stuff and junk.

Now that I've comeplety jinxed myself, I'm off to buy some lottery tickets......

In years past, you did not have to be a SRC member to qualify for the Winter Series overalls. You DO have to be a member to qualify for the full season overalls (Winter Series, Nationals, Challenge).

Regarding the series points, if you moved up to expert, your sport points aren't thrown out per se. You will remain in the standings in the sport class for the points you earned there. However, you don't get to bring any sport points up with you.

My last question. After the first race I moved up to Expert Class from Sport. If I race Expert is the Sport results thrown out? I have never had to think about having a chance to win a race, much less a series.

I will most likely be there no matter the answers. Thanks

wondering if practice for the 4x course is open only to racers? I'm gonna borrow a couple bikes to demo a lap or two when I'm there but not race - will I be able to?? thanks - Donny

Not sure, people ride the course all day, so as long as it's not during official "practice" you should be fine. I will be doing the same thing. Gonna try out a DS bike in the morning before practice.

[gil_caz]

any one can practice, when they are not holding the official practice for 4x.


so i was told.

Just print up the Geoladders directions. There are 3 differences:

Instead of going down the steep loose sandy descent you continue to the left. I believe that sign is fairly permanent. Another one is right on the descent after the fire road next to the DH usual start. It's not a big deal if you ride the old way, but again, I think there's a sign or something closing down the old trail. Third is instead of going down the cement culvert at the very far end you take the dirt. It's marked/noted.

Thanks, I'll try that. Guess it's time to put the cyclocomputer back on the bike.
