Sea Otter Classic 2009 (Kenda Cup West)

First time for Sea Otter for myself and racing XC Cat 3 on Friday...but was wondering if you guys recommend pre-registering or does on-site registering not make much of a difference in terms of lines and packet pick up.

Thanks for the input!!

 

I can not seem to find the link to the pre-registered athletes for Sea Otter. I know I seen it somewhere, but where I do not know. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks

It hasn't been updated in the last week though.

 

I always pre-reg. Saves time!

 

pre registration closed last night at midnight.

Damn, already 101 guys signed up for cat 2 16-18, which is the class i am racing in DH.
plus, it hasnt been updated, my name isnt even on the list yet!!!!
holy cow

 

101? Thats going to take forever. Pus practice is going to be a mad house if any of the other age groups are like that

 

Need help for Dual Slalom

So, based on the fact that I have been off the bike for 6 weeks, my fitness level is a tad less than normal. That being said, I am looking to hire someone to push my bike up the hill during DS practice, qualifying and finals. I am willing to pay!!!! If there is anyone who is going to have some spare time and would be willing to help me out, I would be eternally greatful!

Thursday Practice 8:00am to 11:00am, Qualifying 2:00pm
Friday Practice 8:00am to 8:45am, FINALS 9:00am

 

Nancy.
If you can talk to my boss and talk him into giving me friday off, i'll push your bike up the hill all day friday, for free.
In all seriousness, i'm gonna talk to my boss tomorrow and double check that i can have friday off, and if so i would be more than happy to hike your bike for you.
you would think at a bike shop he would be ecstatic for me racing with his jersey at the biggest race on our side of the world. Guess not :?:
I'll let you know about friday.. unfortunately, i wont be there thursday AM. :-k

 

2 more days!

 

Hey I'm leaving tomorrow morning and staying through Saturday morning, so if anyone's around and wants to come by camping area "H" for a beer (or Motor Tab) and a friendly face, come on by. Silver Jeep with a GT Dirt Coalition pop-up in the camp.

Good luck to everyone this weekend.

 

28 guys pre-reg'd in my class.. And about 3 of em are locals to my area and are pretty much pro's.. I'm gettin smoked for sure

 

how do you think i feel? the 2 local kids that smoke me are signed up, as well as 101 other pre registered on that list, and its not even up to par.

Hmmm...so what class to race?

At Fontana I normally race Expert for DH and I can usually pull a top 6 (I won the last race of 2008). I have never raced DS, however. I plan on racing both at Sea Otter. So, what classes should I run? It seems like the Expert class also includes Semi-Pros...or maybe I'm just mistaken.

In any case, for anyone that knows me, perhaps you can suggest the appropriate class. I haven't raced all season so I don't want to get smoked, but I'm still quick and I don't want to be sandbagger. There's no honor in that! Any ideas? :?:

 

It was updated on 4/13 so it should be pretty close to correct.

 

the link with the roster is up to date...
my name is on my seed list and i registered after 5pm the day registration closed..
just a heads up

 

Who needs a ride to Sea Otter?!

LAST CALL. Looking for anybody needing a ride to SO. Leaving tomorrow morning but can adjust if necessary. Hate driving by myself.

 

Hey Mark I thought you were moving up to Cat 2?

 

If you don't already have a USA Cycling license you may have to race Cat 2. In the past in order to race Expert you had to have top 5 placings in several races and them you had to request an upgrade.
