2008 Mt. SAC Fat Tire Classic 11/2/08

Jeremy? someone told me you got sick, which is why you weren't at the bonelli race

simple answer, probably not racing next year, and within points of the overall for southridge. Just not riding as much anymore.

nearly no one at bonelli in my class last month which is why i made the top of the podium #-o

 

Why???????:?:

Roger raced Clyde once thinking it would be all fat, old, out of shape guys!!! Far from it, it was large, muscular, young, fit guys!!! What a rude awakening!!!!

 

sorry to beat a dead horse cuz i know i have probly asked this already, but how many laps do sport men 16-18 do? 2 correct?
And what about SS, is it an open Category, like beginner, sport SS or just one SS class?

 

SS is open 3 laps 18 miles, but split by age 34 & under/over

 

Lap times/mileage by class

Brandon, for all the time you spend on the Internet, you need to learn how to read the thread and use the information provided (like links to the web site and registration site) instead of asking some nice person to look it up for you!!!! :lol:

Thanks Nancy :wave:
I'll learn to use more of my resources, rather than str :lol:.
Wow, Beginner does double laps this year, and i though i was going to be able to get away in sport with 2 laps.
I may have to re-evaluate this class decision :lol:

 

#-o Willie didn't tell me that it's THREE laps and NO age class for women!!!!

 

I felt the same way after DenMo posted the laps for each class 8-[

 

Rach - with all the hard work you've put in this year, You will do just fine :bang:by lap 3 you'll just be warming up.

 

Traci, you have no idea how sore I am today, from just one night at the gym. Can someone please start the violin music for me? By tomorrow I don't think I'll be walking right, I'm barely upright now. And I think my climbing is getting worse--it seems that my muscles escaped from my legs somewhere in the middle of the night.

If you guys promise not to laugh.......maybe.......

 

I've been reading postings on a "clyde's dale class" for this race. what are the details of the clyde's class? any age? how much do you have to weigh to be in the clyde's class?

 

200lbs, any age for this race

i think it should be something like 350+ :lol:

<--bitter about being passed by numerous clydes during races

 

David, just be thankful that you don't have to race the 40 year olds (like I do)!

 

remember, a dozen of us or so are pre-riding the course on saturday at 10am.

See Calendar

 

this is my first race and i'm signed up for beg men. i'm about 200 lbs. should i switch classes? are clyde's class riders hardcore? i don't want to get murdered by all the skinny guys in my class.

 

2006/2007 Info

FYI,

I checked the results for 2006 and 2007 and back then, Juniors and Beginner Women raced 1 lap!!! That is why I moved to Sport last year because 1 lap was too easy and 3, well, 3 is definitely a challenge for me!!!

 

check last year's results here, find your age group/class and compare it with the clyde's times

seems about even :?:

 

Yes, Clyde's are hardcore. Race your own age group/skill level!!!!

P.S. See my post about when my husband raced Clyde and got murdered!!!!

 

Nice, i dont remember doing a 28:00 flat race, but alrighty.
I knew i gave it my all, now lets see if i can finish around 1:30:00 this year doing 3 laps :bang:

 

I think they need to make a super classification for 40+ yr old clydesdales.

That would be a collection of 6'5" Abe Lincoln look-a-likes who've been racing since their 20's. Seriously, look at times for the older age groups, those hombres f*cking move man! They've got a couple decades of racing and training, plus they've weeded out the weak and the slow.

In all seriousness, have fun racing at Mt. Sac. I was going to come out and race beginner's too but I know Neil would kick my ass. That was great fun out there last year. It was good day for STR.
