    ^^Thanks. I guess I'm not sure if I want to do it and try to get a better time than 08? Or just do CC? Or, neither.

    Steph, Do the CC and shoot for a 5 hour time. That way you'll finish just as lunch is being served.

    I hate training. Hopefully the route will be open soon for riding......
    and pray for moderate temperatures on the 7th.

    Just signed up for VQ. I've never been up West Horsethief, so I guess I'll be finding out what all the hype is about soon enough :lol:

    Based on my CC time last year, I would have barely made the VQ cutoff, so it's just not about endurance this year. I need to work on my speed too.

    Went for the Coup (Will be 4th Time) ...VQ would have required total commitment instead I decided I wanted to focus on more than one event/thing/activity this winter (Maybe do some Skiing) . Guess I will go for a better time or try on the SS.

    Glad I am in, let the climbing begin! :)

    Also get ready to do the CC twice. :wave:

    IMO, that's what the VQ feels like.
