Hey Wylie, ya as Greg said its a first year course and some restrictions had to be implemented in order to make the race happen-for a while we weren't sure a 17-18 catagory would happen. But check out the course pictures and try to come out and have a watch this weekend and chear for the racers.

I think I should be able to make it.

But a summer long of A-line, Dirt Merchant and the Boneyard really has done it in for my off packed dirt, steep, rocky, rooty, off-camber skillage.

^Made in Canada-
Not sure what you are asking about racing a course you've never seen-lots of races are like that. That's why we go to them and practice a day or two before. On the note of being open after the race-yes like Bear Mtn, Red will be open to ride, you just need to push your bike up as the roads are gated for each.

ya man i agree completely. fact is i dont have a 4x4, (i have a standard 81 volvoMadder you may say tahts good but it has bald tires right now Razz )



i know where the bear mtn parking lot is, but no idea where the road is that takes me to the top... let alone the RIGHT path......


ergo i can't practice... short of asking someone to actually show me, i really have no other way Frown


obviously i am a novice

^^made in Canada,
Here is the info you want, straight from the original post:

Shuttles run from 1030am-330pm on Saturday then from 800am-1000am on Sunday.

NOw any other time you want to ride that course will mean pushing or find another ride with someone that has keys to the 2 gates.

even if people are walking up past the gates, i haven't been able to arrange anybody to come with me (everyone's working).
