Downhill Fontana DH Sport level Clinic.

what! ive lived here for 12 or so yrs now and the time change thing still throws me off. whats the time doing? forward or back?

 

Fall back, is suggested but not necessary if you don't mind being late all the time till spring.

 

Actually you would be early for everything until Spring.:?:

 

Only if you're south of the Equator.

 

Wrong. At 2am on Nov first the clock will move back 1 hour making it 1am so if you forgot to change you clock you will be 1 hour early for everything until spring.

 

Just remember: "Spring forward, fall back"

PS We get an extra hour of sleep (or drinking )

 

shuttle?

Whats up with the shuttle, should I leave the car seats at home or will you have the vans?

 

Uhhh, no shuttle, its the old fashioned hike up when its time to ride.

 

Very cool of you to arrange this, Dirty Mike... I can't attend but I just wanted to give you "props" for going out of your way to help others...:bang:

 

So seriously, how's your truck do you want to carpool?

 

If I ride Summit saturday and I am as tired as I think I'll be I will shuttle folks in my little red ranger. We can load what we can and stuff who we can in it just to make things a little easier. I dont feel like pushing so if anything you guys can load your rigs in my truck and walk up without pushing 40 pounds of rolling mass. I'll do it if someones willing to take turns driving so I can at least get a couple runs in.

 

Shuttle trucks wont do much good if no one has a key.:wave:

The Equator has nothing to do with it. no matter which side of it you happen to be on.

 

Oh truck is fine, I just dont have AC for awhile till I get the rest of the parts

That is an extremly good point, But if your slick, and know the go around..... welll just dont get caught, its a hell of a ticket.









Official reminder, we are meeting in the parking lot were the signups are normally at. Will be going over the different techs there, then hiking up for a ride. Ride as much as you want, or as little as you want. after the parking lot, its just go out and have fun. Remember its a sport elvel clinic, so after the parking lot work, you should be able to apply it as you ride form there. I dont even know how many runs I will be making, chances are I wont be making full runs, just hitting and sessioning spot after spot.

 

Is everyone taking DH bikes?

Full armor and FF helmet :?:

 

I am bringing my Fontana Bike. FF yes full armor depends on my feeling that day.

 

Ok.... last minute check on items needed.

DH bikes, AM bikes..... Doesnt really matter, these items are all items that are used for techy sections that can be used on all mtn bikes, so no worries there

Safety gear.... The only two I will make you use...Helmet, and gloves. Anything else will be on you, and if you decide to bring more, My suggestions are to bring everything, and if you need it, or feel you need it, then use it.

TIME CHANGE!!!!! Tonights the night, we get an extra hour of sleep tonight, Was part of why I picked the day for this. remember at 2am, it becomes 1am again!!!!!


Meeting at the normal check in area when teh races are happening. I will be in my green S10, Wearing the team jersey, and a Camo floppy hat.

Bring water, your going to need it, its fontana, always seems to get hot, bring food, how long you stay will be totally up to you guys.
