the big side, trail #1 and the beg. trail is clear and ready to shread.

expert class will be on the big side, inter. class will be on trail 1, or big side,,depends on rider input, and the beg. class will be on the same trail as last race.

the big side is a 4 + minute run, around 900-1000 foot decent,,so eat your wheaties!

also,,if i can work out somthing with camping,and if a handfull of folks have any interest, we thought about doing a nite race also,,ethier friday nite after midnite or sat nite around dark, anyone interested?

one more thing,,,anyone that pays a fee at the ttc to ride has acecss to the shower house,, your ridn buds dont want to smell you all the way home :thumb: byob!!!!!!

we have a website..got alot of work left ot do to it,,but it will be done in the next few weeks,, the webmaster is out of town. if you scroll down on the ttc page,,on the left side is a link to the dh page,,,i think it is www.trialstrainingcenter.com/dowhnhillmtb

we will be running shuttles,but for people running the big side you can provide your own shuttles, before and during the race..ask anyone with a ttc shirt on at the race,,they can give directions to the trailhead.

Crap. I'll have to miss this one. I'm leaving for Whistler that day. Its awesome to think I will miss two races for a week trip to Whistler. The Southern scene has so many options!

BTW, the TTC races are great grassroots races.

Are u still jacked from the Windrock crash or something else?
I broke my left femur for the second time in 10 months @ snowshoe.....pretty lame. I had been practicing for the race on the "big side" @ TTC for months. Was told by doctors that i'd never be able to DH again, so had to sell the rig :mad:

Come on dude. Jeremy had a rod pulled out of his leg and put back in and can ride DH. There's still hope (said in my best Mickey from Rocky I voice). :shakefist:

True i could prob ride in the future, but it puts a ton of stress on my family when taking care of my broken ass. DH is more addictive than crack...so i may not be able to stay off my wifes SX trail forever.

Troy tells me we are in need of another full size truck or two for running shuttle. I can drive a vehicle or do timing since i'm injured, just wanted to help this grass roots race keep happening !! :pleasantry:
