Fontana Winter Series Race #1

My RR is about like yours. I did alright up top, then heard the crowd yell I was about to catch and pass the guy in front of me, I made the left to the wall and watched him disappear8-[ My legs were gone by the time I got 1/4 way down the Wall and the headwind was no help either so I had to sit. Kept pedaling but had to sit, the power was completely gone. I was really surprised the guy behind me did not catch me at the wall, felt like I was trackstanding the whole way.

So first race back since '03/'04 and no crashing (other then in practice, nothing major) so I took 9th in sport, 35-42

Anybody have some pictures of 415Y and 442Y? Thanks in Advance and Adrien sorry to hear about your spill brother heal up and Big E [big hit erik] and I will see you INCYCLE guys and gal's out there!!

 

hey anything of 176D besides Sharky, ChristopherWood, and bluefire? Thanks again guys I wanna see if anybody got me crashing

 

Im uploading my pics right now. I didnt edit them at all. Thats up to you guys. There are quite a few. I'll have the link up in about an hour I hope.

 

You know it is so awesome to see the support for the local races and racers by the STR community. It is one of things that got me hooked on STR to begin with last year. I wish I could've been out there to race and support but seeing all of the pictures, race reports, and video's does a lot to ease the pain! Keep it up folks you racers and supporters ROCK!!!

congrats to all who made the attempt!

 

DBD, I was behind you on the M6. Like you said I was dead through the rocks not to mention the wall. I ended up in 4th.

 

When do the results usually get posted? (or does anyone happen to have them handy?) I'm curious about some of the other classes and I didn't think to look yesterday.

 

I think that was me, I stepped away from the bike for a few seconds up top. I started 2nd after Eric. 35-42 sport:beer:

 

Within a day or two normally

 

Pics are here ----> http://photobucket.com/Fontana_1-11

hope the link works. There are a lot. Most of em are in 2-4 shot series. Thats why there are a lot of kinda distant ones. They are all unedited and free for the taking. Hope you like em.

 

Thanks Chuck, I'm glad you talked me into it.

 

yeah, now you have a nifty trophy and a blue hand too :lol:

 

:wave:This looks like a fun site to be on. Fontana was a blast even with the wind, My team did pretty good and is looking forward to the next race. Anyone looking for great MTB wheel for 4X or downhill check out Bombshellparts.com and come by the Avent/Bombshell truck at the races and you can see some of the wheels for yourself and see the new Avent 4X race frames, they weigh 3lb 11oz. good luck to everyone for the whole winter season.

 

Those tingles go away when you crash during the race.

I'm still working through the footage from this weekend, all 4+ hours that we got.
It looks really good, we should have the video ready by Wednesday.

 

Don't have you crashing but have a pretty good closeup through the rock garden.

Thanks little buddy, awesome photos!!! :bang:

 

Not me, I started 7th or 8th maybe even farther back, two behind Tmac.
I guess I went from 9th on Sunday to 10th today:-k oh well, just a few more seconds I need to shave off. Hopefully they come off as the pounds do as well.

I was totally surprised you did not pass me on the wall, nice job grabbing 4th
:beer:
