Well, folks, Thats it of the race, I hope some people have some better photos to post. I was pretty sad I couldnt take any action photos oh well, I guess riding was better.

And here, I leave you with some random crap Jen found while hiking during our practice runs

Team XXL had a strong showing yesterday at Massanutten with 6 podium spots, three of those being first place finishes

Dan successfully defended his hardtail class title from last year. Also, congrats to Will for his third place spot in hardtail class.

Steve getting the win in sport master class... Taeo also had a strong finish with a third place spot on the podium.

Brian had a smokin' fast time to win the expert senior class. He would have placed within the top ten in the pro/semi-pro class. Dan was back on the podium with a second place finish here. Dan had to leave immediately after the race to go to work so Dan's head stood in for him on the podium . I believe that's Matt D in the third place spot(??)

Corey and Zach getting 2nd and 3rd in sport senior class.

The ladies on the podium...

Pro/semi-pro podium...

im on the lookout for #103 in sport-senior.

Matt, if that is your name, I raced against you. I was #111. Had a great time and trashed my back wheel by racing on a flat from the first rock garden. oh well, how'd ya do?

 

[mobius]

Yeah sport did have a few sandbaggers COUGH COUGH. Cheap aholes that dont wanna pay 60 for a norba license but oh well. It was fun even though my run didnt turn out how i wanted.

Oh any pics of #100 are appreciated.

 

[Mattoid]

thats me, I did alright. Rode nice and clean, but not fast enough. I think I got like 8th or 9th with a time of 4:11

[motomike]

[motomike]

what was your time?

 

[profro]

Mike, you seem like you rip. I was suprised your raced Sport. I thought being a semi-pro XC racer you would have gone Expert. It sucks to not have a clean run to be able to judge yourself. But anyway you should come over the Windrock sometime soon. BTW, it was my first Massanutten race and I had a blast. The course was really fun and the middle woods section was nice and techy with all the turns.

yeah, I was pretty nervous coming into the race, so I did sport, and regret it. I really should have been in Expert. oh, well, maybe next time. As for Windrock, I'm thinking about it constantly and am getting ready to buy a truck. So, maybe next month or so...

 

[profro]

Well it must have been fate to get the flat and not sandbagger steal some sport's medal.

haha that's funny. probly right. yeah, I loved the middle section, with the fast loamy turns and those freakin TIGHT soft turns. Those little rock garden turn were good too.

wow, some great shots in there... i'll be emailing you for some big'uns later. dunno who this is, but this is my favorite shot so far!

EDIT: actually, it's a damn fine sequence http://www.squirrellyracing.com/galleries/massanutten/slides/DSC_61472005-05-14.html

 

[corey_rideDC]

okay, nevermind... THIS is my favorite shot:

 

[zerossix]

okay, nevermind... THIS is my favorite shot:

i always wondered about you corey....


you had to have known it was coming

 

[Jeremy R]

okay, nevermind... THIS is my favorite shot:

Ha, yeah, that was me.
It looks way worse today.
Pretty much looks like a purple softball on my leg.
I did it on Friday, and then did 7 more runs on Saturday before the race.
If I did not keep moving it got too stiff to walk.
I feel like I was in a car wreck today. It tweaked my back as well.
But it was totally worth it. That race was a blast!!

 

[ridetoofast]

i can relate...only i did it to my hand

drifted to the right at the entrance of the first rock garden at the top, clipped a tree, broke my right hand AGAIN, but i finished the race. going to ortho this week to find out when surgery is, i think they are going to have to screw the bone again.

Damn dude sorry to hear that. I hope everything works out all right. Hope your not out for the summer.

[whale]

okay, nevermind... THIS is my favorite shot:

i sure hope that at least someone got a shot of my fantastic pre-finish line crash (#102 sport seniors). i shouldn't have pushed it so hard since there was no way i would have placed having dropped my chain at the beginning of the first rock garden.

i'm out 7-10 days in a sling with a shoulder separation, but will hopefully be better for the US open.

mad props to all my team xxl brethern who podiumed (dan - 2x, brian, corey, zach, & stiff)

 

[corey_rideDC]

hey will, here's some reading for you on AC shoulder seps: http://www.cyclingforums.com/t217749-ac-joint-separation---recovery-time.html

anyone know when and where the final times will be posted??

 

[ridetoofast]

Damn dude sorry to hear that. I hope everything works out all right. Hope your not out for the summer.

Dennis

Thanks Dennis. I had it xrayed Sun morning, 5th metacarpal is broken again, about an 1/8" gap...I'm sure it'll take surgery to fix...I'll know more in a few days.
