Are you racing Mike? The Ashland and Post Canyon races were well received, so I reckon folks will enjoy this one too.

I hope so, my bike is at the fate of Chaz and AT at Cove right now.........I plan to run it. Never entered a Super D before..........sounds as tough as a cross race.

Mike/ Carey, Is the one run limit on Saturday a shuttle limit or can we self shuttle a couple of runs on Saturday?

hey, I was wondering what the course is like?
My current Super D Bike doesnt have working brakes, and all I have is my full DH race bike.. I am a super strong kid but is riding the downhill bike going to be a dumb idea.. if there is a 700ft elevation gaining climb in the middle of the climb then I wont bother driving from Idaho, but if its possible to ride a full DH bike fairly competitivly then I may try and make it over there..

Shuttles will be provided by Ski Bowl/Hurricane Racing on Sat till 4pm, after that ends- we will have to rally ourselves. Its open all the time- fun line and Carey has done some great pre-race work on some rocks. Should be a fun long race.

Honestly- its DH Bike worthy- just watch this video and you can see the climbing is short and mellow. Just enough to be a challenge for us out of shape old guys. You younger whipper snappers are gonna love this course.
