hey everyone, i wanna give you a heads up that the Triple Crown Series is coming soon.

www.TripleCrownSeries.com

get all the details on the new site.
this year we have a 3 pack deal to save you some $$$$$$

talk to ya'll soon.:wave:

 

I cant wait I plan on doing the whole series. What is the are the course's like in terms of amount of climbing?

 

I think I a going to get in on this series as well! I hope to see some familure faces out there! I think ill do the sport class, more challenge for the same money! ;-)

 

Warren - you better move up to Sport class or you'll have to change your handle to 'bagger33'

 

LOL Yep I would rather finnish middle of the pack in sport tha be known as bagger33! David I will be coming out,that way again soon I hope! You guys have been killng it!

 

Warren, let us know when you're coming - on the SCV Dirtbags forum. I'm starting to plan a sufferfest for October (I think) "tour of the Sierra Pelonas" with about 80 miles of all dirt goodness and 11-12K of climbing. Trying to figure out how to squeeze in as much single track as possible and keep total time under 10 hours. Fun!

 

Ok everyone, we are 4 weeks away from the Glendora XC Grind, Round #1 of the Triple Crown Series.
Last series of the year and it will come & go before you know it. Perfect for 1st timers.
This is where it starts for many of you 1st timers. My 1st race was up in Big Bear, 6500 ft of elev. Ouch!!!
Be scared, be worried, be nervous. But most of all, be brave & race.

 

Just registered for the 3 pack. My first time racing and Im looking forward to it.

 

I got the three pack also I cant wait to get out there its gona be fun

 

Someone needs to change the title of this thread...I get excited about Belgian large-format bottles until I click on it....

Omar I never got a chance to get out there#-o What is the trail condition? What sort of tread would you suggest Fast rolling or something with more Bite?

 

Hey Bro- here's my two cents for this course... I would err more on the side of faster rolling than more bite. You don't need traction on any climbs so make sure your rear tire rolls well. There is one loose descent on the backside but it's short- maybe 40 sec? And then a paved road climb that's steep. Everything else is either hard-pack ST or loose-over-hard fireroad. If you're a good bike handler then I would go more towards minimalist tread. Or...just throw on a front tire that gives you confidence and a rear tire that rolls well.

 

i agree 100%.

 

Trail is in perfect condition! Thank you Omar.
What time does registration open?

 

Anybody racing Incycle Hammer Time at Bonelli this weekend (Sunday, Oct 21)? I raced here years ago. Was thinking about prerunning the course on Saturday. Does anybody know if it'll be marked? Any experiences camping overnight? I read on the RV park that they have tent parking for $30. If I show up on Saturday could I get a spot or do I need a reservation?

 

online registration is open now until this friday @ 11:59pm.
same day registration should be ready by 8am on sunday (race day).
