Fontana Winter Series #5

Yep, I'll be there! XC & DH!! :wave:

 

I'm going to try to make it Fri.

 

I am in. Racing if my back agrees with me. Doc gave the go head. I will be doing it on Valium and Motrin. Damn dopers.

 

on the plus side, maybe you won't feel your legs go rubbery when you hit the wall. that's a plus...I think.

I'm definitely in for 4X this time too :bang:

 

Wish I could come out and ride on Friday and Saturday. I have too many things to do this weekend.

Ill be there on Sunday, looks like there is more good racing weather on the way.

Thanks Sharky, nice to see what coming since some of us cant ride there other then race weekend. Whats up with the hairpin before the saddle? Damn that looks tight or is it just camera angle.:-k

 

Thanks for the course pictures. I always show my friends who race. They love seeing the course before they get to fontana.

 

Yup, that's a sharp left before the saddle. There are a few of those tight turns. Course isnt bad, there is a semi steep descent that crosses a gutter/culvert. I heard some guys were bottoming out and some were rolling over it fine... me, I walked it - didnt want to go OTB :lol:

See you guys this weekend!

 

Is there a garden? From the pix it seems to be a pretty mellow DH course. I may clip in to the old nomad for this one. BTW thx for the pix! Very helpfull. Always work fridays and the anticipation kills me. Now i can sleep!

 

Well me and Daven rode the Orange Y tonight ( skipped work) and my back felt ok. A little stiff but I should be good to race. Lots of Ice and a hot shower should do the trick.

 

^^^^^^^ how do these people keep getting here?????

 

thanks for the course pics sharky. got to around 2 and decided I didn't want to sit in traffic to get out there. see everyone out there tomorrow bright n early :wave:

 

I just might be able to come out and ride!!!!!


So, Wrist is feeling pretty good at the moment, but I have lost the series already, and I am not fully back in shape yet with the arm.

Would people think it wrong of me to take it easy, and run with the big boys in the clydes class??? I just want to come out, and go for a ride, without getting in the way of others for the next two races.

 

Im gonna race. Dont care what place, just want to ride. Im going to try to make practice, but it wont be till 2-3pm. My back is still a little stiff so im not out to podium. Mainly just want to ride the new bike. I say go for it.

 

No pics of the lower garden Sharky?????

 

we'll be parked in our usual spot up by the 4X track if you wanna come join us. 2pm is an excellent time to show up and watch some 4X action. I'll come do some runs with you afterward too if the energy is in me.

and hey dirtymike, if you're bringing the blindside, can I still talk you out of a ride around the parking lot? never got around to talking to you about it last race... (BTW, I was the guy talking to you by the lower rock garden on sunday with Bflo, in case you didn't know)

 

If he won't let you i will!! Just find me, raw blindside with a white fox 40 on the front.

 

will do :beer:

btw, sick red on the fox stickers. red sharpie? or a custom job?

 

Absolutly Bry, Probably even more fun though to take it up on the mountain, I wont be there today, stuck working again, but I will be there early on sunday.
