Who is going this weekend? I really think all of you guys should go. =] :cheers:

Here is some motivation if you are on the fence:

As most of you have heard, we lost a fellow mountain bike rider, racer, and innovator 2 weekends ago at the sea otter classic. Mark Reynolds crashed on the DH course and ended up passing away.

This saturday, there will be a fund raiser for Mark's family at the CCCX DH race http://www.cccx.org where we will be selling T-shirts, and selling raffle tickets. A bunch of companies have donated stuff to raffle off... and the proceeds will all go to Mark's family. So if you are able, come show support, have fun racing in memory of Mark!

I'm going, but these saturday races are killing me, I probably won't get out there until 2:00, Kelly is signing me up to race @ 2:30 or something like that.

Maybe the course will be open to practice friday night? hmmm...

Nice! I am starting to train a bit for Downieville too. I am pretty pumped to make it into downhill with how fast it filled up.

nice man. just doing the DH? for some reason, i felt the need to sign up for the AM, so...ill be doing xc also :rolleyes: will be fun either way. been doing alot of timed DH runs over 25-30 mins. tons of climbing outta with the seat post down. been doing climbs on mission peak in fremont standing outta the saddle for 15 min intervals. i have a feeling d ville will be all about big efforts, if i can get in better shape and push this single ring a little better ill do alright. gotta get acquainted with a new/smaller bike though, so...will see how it pans out. If nothing else, ill be at UC sunday

Nice. See you guys out there.

The big bike should be fine, there are normally a couple parts where it pays off to have a shorter travel bike. But I have done 2 seasons on a big bike there before. Its not too bad and there are always a few jr. x kids on big bikes that kill it down the hill.
