mid-week MTB racing. IN OC!!!

I'm in! #-o For both events..........#-o Now I have to go train somewhere....... Somehow........... Someway...........

 

Nice. what class and what bike you running?

 

If they have a old fat bastard class I'm in!:lol:

I'll probably be running next to either my Ellsworth or the voodoo (1x9).

 

pretty flat/short course eh? I'll be there in sport (are there age groups posted yet?), but expert looks doable!

I put it on the calendar last week

http://www.socaltrailriders.org/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=2381&day=2009-8-26&c=2

 

It does look doable, but I figure I can race Beginner, finish early and drink more beer? :beer:

 

Why not the clyde class?

 

shoot, if the clydes are where it's at, i'm going to eat a ton of taco's the night before and gain a few pounds!

 

I'm 30 lbs short

 

You might as run the SSpeed Voodoo then. Lighter to push up the hill.

 

after party wooo whoooooo!

me and my friend will be in the beginner class, this will be our first race! looking forward to this! anybody know the parking details?

 

:lol: Thanks for the help......:lol:

If Q-ball can do it, so can you!:lol:

Speaking of Q-ball, is he riding in this?

 

Hey I made the weight in after half of a water melon!:bang:

Never heard of it but maybe.....:-k

 

That's correct, irvine LAKE and it's on santiago canyon.

 

I emailed this info to friends. I'm pretty sure this will be a great event.

 

parking and class information

Parking is free! Irvine Lake is the location (south of 241 Chapman exit, at Lake entrance signs will direct you to free parking on the right). There are no fees for spectators.

It's definitely a shorter course, which is why we included 2 laps for beginners, heck after 1 you're just getting started.

Class information is posted now, without ages: we will announce the official age breakdown on Monday August 24, based on ridership. (Though we want the Clydes, there will be no official "Clydes Class"--we did give you your XXL shirt though )

Racers: $25 day of, so save a buck and jump in for both and a t-shirt for $40.

 

Gee, grasshoppers

I might be persuaded to come out of retirement for this...

 

Cross Bike?

Will the course be overly technical? Will Cross Bikes be allowed?

 

Hopefully the classes don't end up being too small. 5 year age groups at a lot of events often don't get enough riders to make a category competitive. I think the more people in a category the more fun it is because you're more likely to have competition close to you. I like categories with 15-20 riders because there usually ends up being someone close to me I can race.

Regardless, I'll be at the first race. Looks like a fun event.

 

Our thoughts exactly. Each category will have a deep enough field to be a race
