i would like to split some car rental with someone.Heath Sherratt said:Woops just posted this before seaching. Alex, what's your agenda for the trip? You've done it before. What's the scoop?
There is no sport class. It's just open/pro class. Experts can race it if your over 30. However, if you race sport class you will be competing against former world cup pro riders.EVRAC said:I'll be there too.
I'll look for the BCD and say hi Alex.
I'm gunning for mid-pack 30+sport.
I'm too slow, unfit and scared to actually be competitive, but it sure is good fun, eh?
MMike said:CK is mostly right.
The categories are only split by age, not skill. And if you are not a pro, (but are over 30), you can only race if you are a citizen of the host nation. (That's how it was for 2001-2003 anyway)
We are thinking of driving. If we do and you need a ride we can work something out I'm sure. Hbcd said:i would like to split some car rental with someone.
i can fly into where ever.
here is the page and my ridemonkey report.

I am not sure. I think it is in the same calendar year. You better check with the UCI.numerik said:So for example - you can't race Masters W Champs 2007 if you raced any World cup in the same year (2007) or is it if you raced in the previous year (2006)?
Any links to the rules?
Read my report above. If you ride Thursday, Friday, Saturday and race on Sunday, your race run will probably suffer. It is a big boy mountain with tons of high speed and big braking bumps (over 1' tall).Heath Sherratt said:So, I just had the talk with the woman and we are definetly going now. It looks like we will be driving up and staying for wednesday through Sat and leaving early Sunday morn. No kids, just us road trippin'. It's going to be so great I can hardly wait.
only the same year. you can have UCI points, b/c you might get some if you do good in a NMBS. just not any world cup points ofSo for example - you can't race Masters W Champs 2007 if you raced any World cup in the same year (2007) or is it if you raced in the previous year (2006)?

They let you register because they thought there was no way any fast DH racer would be in a skin suit and a helmet with no visor. :devil:bcd said:we stayed at a motel across the road for $75.
super nice and new.
the track is rough and last year i did not ride sat to
save for sun. but i do that most of the time anyway.

I didn't realise that you sat out on Saturday. I rode all day and it killed me. I couldn't hang on to the bars on Sunday. My team mate skipped his Canada cup race since he was so beat up from 3 days of riding plus the Master's race.
Hey Heath. Good to know you'll be there! May be we can have a rematch of Brian Head last year Sounds like it's gonna be a fun one!Heath Sherratt said:I just want to know what i need to bring for emergency technical stuff. I have a Cannondale Judge. With Fox suspension.
Opie always did like the skin suits. Is he racing this season? I haven't seen his man anywherebcd said:that was jason sigfried.
but i am bringing mine this year. its long enought and fast enought to count.
i have started road/pump track training to peak next month.
how about you? any cross training for you?
alex
Mani?! Sick! I didn't know that was you, you are the fast frenchman correct? I am very excited to be going this year. I don't think i can win but I want to try you know? The experience will be great for sure. How are you? Congrats on winning the series last year.Mani_UT said:Hey Heath. Good to know you'll be there!

No you're thinking about Cedric.Heath Sherratt said:I didn't know that was you, you are the fast frenchman correct?
I don't think I am going to make it this year. I have made it the past 3 years and I really should go this year since I doubt I'll go to europe to race. Work is killing me right now and I have only had 3 days off this year out of my 3 weeks. Hopefully, I'll have things let up enough to go.bcd said:that was jason sigfried.
