you could flat in 2 sections.

the dip we were discussing earlier in the thread, and also the dual roller section crossing the abandoned service road before the man made rock garden and man made drop to off camber section. those rocks have tire slashing potential.

i'm not saying that you will flat on those sections but they are deffinitly areas to be concious of your wheel placement.

definitely a safer course than others. the mad trapper has claimed many many tubes of mine. first 2 runs i got double flats. and then many others thereafter.

We managed to get our irrigation system up and running tonight. We watered down a couple of berms and will continue watering tomorrow ans possibly during practice on saturday.

Thanks to Trev Marshall from Full Boar for helping with that, and Cheryl from the Cafe for helping with taping yesterday. Oh and Brad from Taboo Cycles for feeding us and lending me a bike to race on. Sweet!

Give it a day. We're just getting home.

Thanks for coming out though guys. We had 340 racers (+ about 120 xc racers) which is a huge number. Who says racing is dead?

No the plates are completely random.

Next year the berms will be all rocked in. I gotta say the upper portion I liked because of all the moto ruts. It was actually easier in parts to hold a line. Last week I did a couple of heater laps and my fastest was a 2:50. The course slowed so much since then, my race time was 3:11! Granted I did get caught behind the guy in front but whatever....

We have the best bike shops here (except for the other one that never offers help Wink ). Cafe stepped up and tore down both courses for us after the races. The worst job at a race and they did it with a smile. Brad from Taboo found us a ton of vollies, free beer, coffee, and had a nice new Transition Bottle Rocket for me to race on (since I'm bikeless right now). Trev from Full Boar helped me water the course late Friday and Saturday and gave out more wobbly pops to our crew. Support these shops.

can anyone guess who got a flat first run saturday?

i did.

i'm glad i got through before the wind picked up. that would have been annoying.

falling on the flat pedalling sections is also annoying.
