    What time are you coming out tomorrow? I'm probably gonna show up a little before Dh Practice starts. I also got to help plan the shuttle situation so we'll see how that goes.

    It was a fun race! I ended up racing in the morning. I had a good time on the southridge course and it was a really relaxed atmosphere. Thats why I love racing collegiate! The course was pretty much the same as always, sandy and loose. I stayed back for a little bit to watch 4x practice and took some shots.

    thanks for the pics Sharky. I can't wait to see the rest

    Yeah, the club up in SLO is really a cool club. that's why I love it so much up there. great people, great scene, it's all good. It's just a bunch of friends that ride, and occasionally enjoy some beverages over a pump track :drunk:

    I like how everyone is on their DH bikes on the 4x track too...

    Yep, Everything went pretty smooth I think I had more fun on a less professional type event like the one last weekend than the one's southridge throws. You kind of get a relaxed feeling all weekend.

    Oh yea he did!!
    The "A" course used most of the pro line from the Nationals with few turns thrown in made for a fun technical course they did it up well this year and had USA Cycling officials was pretty well organized. Had a great time :).
