I'd say give yourself 2 hours. Usually takes me an hour and fifteen minutes from South San Jose, but I'm also usually towing a trailer so I don't go over 65.

after racing is over and raffle and what not is the course still open for riding on?
It should be, just watch out for thr MX guys. Actually you can ride there whenever you want, but again.......watch out for the MX guys.ZEDMAN said:
Yea ill be going. I'll have the iron horse sgs, with the Donkey zip tied to the bars.
Actually, we start tearing down the course right after the race is over. It's a long day and if we waited the volunteers wouldn't be happy. Plus, a representative from TWW has to go back on Monday to make sure the course was taken down appropriately and the park approves it. Not to mention that there would be no more shuttles and people would be on the course without waivers.
As was mentioned, you can ride there anytime - just the jumps, banked turns, etc. won't be in place.

I'm 35+ and have never raced before. I am slow and I am not that fond of jumps (drops are ok)(man I sound lame). I ride Tunnel and Cold Springs and have been to N* and BB. Should I register as a beginner or sport? Any thoughts? Thanks, sounds like a great race.
the track there is a lot mellower than cold springs and tunnel. if you can ride those trails at a reasonable pace, i'd say go for sport. the ggg track is a lot faster than those trails, but a lot less technical. the jumps are small and easy, don't worry about 'em.
Hey, last year was my first year ever with a DH bike, so I know where you are coming from as far as determining which class to enter.SLAPSHOT said:
If you've rode N*, you'll be fine at the GGG. It's faster, but less technical.
All the jumps had a slow line around them last year that people could take too.
I'd say you should probably enter Sport. It''s more of a fun race than being about bragging rights, so don't worry about your placing either way.
Your tazer is finestoney98 said:
I think this will be my first race as-well. I'm 32 and'll be ridin an RFX w/ z150. I'm thinkin sport. I'm really lookin forward! BTW this morning at Pacifica was sweet! Now I just gotta get a full-face.
man up, the tazer is fine. i got second last year on my supercross. the small bike and the big bike are pretty much the same on that course.
