Yo! What up!

We've added another award to the 2006 Corral Hollow Downhill Race. $300 (and still growing) to the fastest rider down the course regardless of class. You can add to the pot at the time you register.

So far there are 43 registered racers. Online registration is at Bikereg.com

http://www.bikereg.com/events/Default.asp?et=3&rg=6

We have about 23 sponsors and are working on more which would make the raffle pretty fat!

For more info, check out the CHDH homepage.

Cool, i could use some extra cash! Ha ha j/k. Does anyone know the date of the GGG this year? This would make a nice addition to the Sea Otter and GGG for me.

The CHDH is the GGG.

Team Wrong Way quit and RideSFO picked up the torch.. and renamed it CHDH. Same race, same place, new name.

You'll probably want to be in the lowest class for your age that there is if it is your first race. I started in beginner and I was consistently losing for a while, I think my luck is starting to turn around. It really takes a bit to get used to racing.
Good luck. I will probably see you there.

That's also a reason why we changed the name and we wanted to name the race based on the surrounding area.

I like the new name and new look. The website is cooler too. Very cool. I'll be bringing some heads for sure-three to date, it's such s great race, no pedaling, super fast and fun as it gets. Plus you make more money here than ANY Norba or even Sea Otter, good job guys. You deserve the recognition, I hope this turns out really well for y'all. H

The folks that kicked down the $$$ want to go the fastest rider pot, so we can't touch that. We are going to a little fund raiser for the pro purse at the Hella Greasy Premier though … basically the cover charge will go to the pro purse.

"...no pedalling..." I beg to differ. Aint no S.O. pedalling, but if you want a good time you'd best pedal wherever you can!...especially the ridgeline and the bottom.

Beg and differ all you want you ARE riding a bike, it's all relative brutha. In my opinion, this is one of the few dh courses that is truly DH. You can probably ride the wholes course with no pedaling and still have a respectable time...that's what I mean by "no pedaling". It's no Southridge or Sea Otter. Relax, you gotta relax when your making posts.

This is going to be awesome, but I cannot beg enough to leave out the manmade rock garden. I think most here will agree with me about that. The course is amazing but the rock garden is just retarded.

is anyone here driving from the Tahoe area? I would think about going, but 3+ hours is kinda far.

If you've ever done a race at N*, come, you will be thrilled.

It's not even remotely as technical, but waaaay faster and pretty challenging to ride fast. The atmosphere is super fun, the people running it are super cool. The people watching are pretty cool. The course is really fun.

I could continue.. but, what I'm trying to say is, it's worth the drive.

It's fun. I've done 3 dh races in my life and that was one of them. If you're even remotely considering it, you should go.

I am considering it.
But Ben is broken. Which means he's a bit grumpy about spending the day driving all the way out for a race and then just sitting on his ass. and i don't want to drive out there solo.

are you thinking of going? lemme know.
and if anyone from nearby is thinking of going.... drop me a message.

ben slid out at the end of a rail a week ago at kirkwood. came down and pretty much karate chopped the rail with his wrist. he's had surgery twice already... so hopefully he'll be riding in 2 months.
at least it's this winter and not last winter.
