    I was out there both days. Have around 1000 pictures. Im going to try to stay up all night and upload them for you.

    Here is what I have-
    XC Race
    Super D Race
    Some 4X Practice
    4X Race

    Sunday DH Practice
    DH Race
    DH Awards

    Im going to sort the DH like I normally do. The best way I think I can sort the XC is in time chunks like lat race. something like
    11:00-11:10
    11:10-11:25
    11:25-11:35.

    If you have any ideas on how to do it better let me know in the next 10 to 15 min. The pictures are for you so Im up to all suggestions.

    ==============================

    Fun weekend. Got to see the the usual STR crew. Hooters with the RockGardn team. Didnt ride as much as I wanted to, but thats normal when I shoot at fontana.

    No. Got home, took a shower, and got some food. Im sorting through and doing some other processing on them right now uploading will start around 8:30 8:45. Will hopefully finish sometime early morning, my goal is 5 or 6am (Depends on internet speed). They should be online by the time you wake up.

    Am I mistaken or were you using a remote flash? might have been someone else though

    It was a remote flash, made for some cool looking pictures.

    I think I like shooting XC more. The people ride slower and talk to me more. Seems like a more relaxed atmosphere.

    I had a blast! It was a fun course, and I got faster with each run!

    Then during my last practice run.......

    I crashed at the drop after the waterfall. I got bruises on my l.shoulder, r.thigh, r.ankle, lots of skin missing from my l.forearm, and dirt in my mouth. Couldn't get my rhythm after that.

    During my race run, I mad a TOTAL rookie mistake. The line I was taking down the waterfall had changed, and instead of looking ahead, I had my eyes pointing at my tire. RESULT: I went off to the side and lost all my momentum. I ended up something like 12th out of 23. I had better aspirations, but I was on my small bike, and I hadn't raced in almost a year.

    All things considered, I had a blast, and I can't wait till the 24th!!!

    Had an amazing race weekend. Like everyone else I got to catch up with some friends and make a few new ones. Had some Great practice runs Saturday. Ran the Expert line a few times at the beginning because we never know what the rules will be by run time Sunday. I hit every line almost everytime. I love the flowy turns at the top really helped me work on my turns.

    Sunday I like to only do a few shakedown runs then one fast and I stuck with that because it's been working. I ended with 6th out of 20+. Sure hope to get new shifters and a RD so I can have 8th and 9th gear.

    P.S. Bry sorry but I had to scare you. {and I think my time was only 2:48}

    222N if you have anything.

    P.S.S.

    Great to see a bunch of the Path boys out in force this race.
