Ride Report Fontana Race/SouthRidge Races

[mottmcfly]

Hey everyone,

This was my first race today since joining STR. I just wanted to thank everyone that came out just to support the STR crowd.

It really meant a lot to me and I'm sure all the rest of the STR family as well.

Props to you guys.

Mott

Fontana Challenge results

so how did everyone else do??

I won beginner men cross country 13-15 by 15 minutes... 8-[ didnt mean to and it was an accident so ill probly move up so i dont get called a sandbagger.

Then i had an hour break and had my first super D race, which i also won... my time was 9:49 which won the beginner class by about a minute and Jason simpson's time was 9:45 which one the expert class :?:
needless to say, they made a huge error or i got lucky... oh and by the way, me and hjason fell. i endo'd and got some cool battle wounds ( good thing i shaved my legs so theey heal faster and are easier to clean )

and last but not least, i got 10th out of 38 in mens beginner 13-15 Downhill, which im happy with considering i have never placed well in downhill races.

i think i had a good racing weekend. what about everyone else?

SANDBAGGER

SANDBAGGER

thats why im going to move up to sport soon

 

[allison]

I'll post up race reports tomorrow. I got 1st in Sport XC (there's no way in hell I could do three laps out there and survive).

I had signed up for Sport DH, they listed me in beginner. I bumped up to Expert and finished 2nd.

Great weekend. I had SO much fun. Hearing people cheer you on just totally makes the entire experience.

 

[BFloFoxRider.]

the kid will be running sport or higher from now on. i already told him that if i see him running beginner i am going to puncture his tire just before i start.

good work in XC and superD brandon! we need to work on your DH though! you should be faster than that. i heard you were doing some silliness though like pulling manuals instead of pedalling along the wall. :?::lol:

no i pedaled
i was just sore from yesterday so i couldnt go as hard as i would have liekd to #-o

 

[JOx2]

aha, reaching out to young crowds brainwashing them about dw-link and IH Bikes!
:lol:you're so busted!

 

[allison]

no i pedaled
i was just sore from yesterday so i couldnt go as hard as i would have liekd to #-o

I totally felt the same way.. My legs were totally worked from XC the day before, so I don't think I could give it my all today..

 

[Tedroy]

Ah...

... at least he finally got that kona jersey in the wash!

 

[J_Sims]

First time out and 7th out of 13...

Special thanks to the Mann's, Nancy, Roger, Steph and Dan for all the support time of and encouragement over the weekend. I had the time of my life and I think Justin is right regarding creating a monster... I am in for the winter series....

[Abstrakt77]

Nice meeting you again Jeff and congrats on your run. I will also be joining the winter series as I also had a freaking blast. Oh, and btw, this frame does bring good mojo.

I think the STR peeps were the only people left cheering when it was time for all the noobs to start coming down the course today. Rock on.

 

[Mudman]
