Southridge 16th Annual Challenge

XC race starts at 9:30, but they stagger it. I'll probably be coming in for my second lap around 10:30 (I HOPE).

 

I can make the water bottle happen.

 

If Justin decides he isn't racing tonight I'm covered. But you guys are more than welcome to chill and cheer me on

:beer:

 

Ok...just let me know. We'll be out there in the a.m. I'll pm you my phone # unless we don't run into each other. Assuming you aren't heading up to denmother's tonight?

 

Nope. Justin is out of town until probably 6pm or later tonight, so we haven't even packed and gotten ready for tomorrow yet. #-o

 

Okay, we'll find ya tomorrow

 

Well you were right the old Cal State course on the right of the fireroad going down then straight through the lower rock garden. Here's a few pics. That first rock section where we sat that one day they reroute you to the right of that rock (see pic) and also above there where someone recently added that lil dirt jump on the right the tape leads you over it.
See:lil jumpster

That rock to the right was the one you used to jump off not included in the course:

Turning around looking down:

Sarah is gonna own it Sunday !!

Brandon sailing faster with the shaven legs!!

 

Thank you sharky.

I'm really bummed. I was looking forward to technical, fun course. From the pictures brandon posted, I think the XC course is going to be more tech. This course is a pure drag race (emphasis on a real drag). I think I'll bring my 4x hardtail out to play tomorrow, but I have doubts that I will race on Sunday. Sorry for my negative attitude, but although I don't know the actual course yet, I don't remember any fun stuff over there.

 

Thanks for taking the shots. Great to see what were in for before even getting to practice. Is it me or is the line through the rock garden a little more smooth? I know pictures rarely capture how hairy something is.

i agree, the xc course is more technical than the dh... theres only that one little rock section of the picture sharky posted... and its fun going through it but 5 seconds later when your through it, you return to pedaling... if your not in pedaling for 2 minutes shape, dont enter it

its very smooth and fast

 

Outstanding, thank you.

 

there are some biggger rocks you have to drop, but the landings are flat and smooth. just maintain one speed through the garden and you'll be fast and smooth

 

how do we find out how many laps a class does for xc?

 

At first I thought you were talking about your legs, but then I realized you also said fast, so it couldn't be your legs.:lol: Haha, see you manana.

 

if i were talking about my legs i would have said "they are smooth and fast", not, "ITS smooth and fast" :?:
:lol:

 

I thought maybe you had taken some grammar lessons from Dirttorpedo.

 

that too
adrian is picking me up around 715 so ill be out there around 730 to meet everyone for registration... beginner does 1 lap and sport does 2?

 

I think beginner does 2 and sport does 3, but not 100% on that.

 

beginner does 3?!?!?!
oh geez
well if they do i may be slow... if not, ill still be at an alright pace

 

No, read again, beginner does 2 laps.
