Fantastic event, and well worth the drive.

Terrible to hear about Dave Bethea, hope he's healing up and doing better.

I still have more photos to come, but I'm having a hard time getting a chance to sit down for a spell to process and post them for everyone to check out.

In the meantime you can check out a few here ---> transition bikes blog

Sorry didnt find your ipod but, Kayne was last seen on the hill giving his apology for upstaging your race run, saying Beyonce had the best run of all time. ahhahahha

If you raced collegiate you could race there this weekend!

We're gonna start brainstorming on fall stuff as soon as we get done with the dual conference collegiate race.
Man thats cruel taunting me with thoughts of racing the bird:rolleyes:
if any good film schools had a gravity team I'd be all over
Hope you guys can make the fall race happen

Ask and ye shall receive...

Hawkaween race is ON officially, weekend of the 31st. That same weekend the hawk will play host to the 3rd annual hawksnest crossfest cyclocross race. This means a couple hundred bikers of another flavor, more spectators, more cowbell, more of everything!

There is a Carter's Lake DH race already on the schedule for that Sunday. One of the reasons why we moved the Windrock Fall Festival.

Considering we have a collegiate race to put on and less than 2 months to get sponsors together, get timing cleared up, promote, etc...we kind of need something to keep our numbers down. I don't think we can get organized enough to handle 137 racers again. Carters Lake is a long way from here, so I can't honestly justify going down there to race during the school year anyway. I think the show will go on...at this point whatever the mountain gives us permission to do has got to happen to help our case with a bike park.


That said...apologies for the conflict with carters. This is the weekend we got permission to use (bc of the cyclocross event), so this is the one we have to go with.
