Just found this for all you New England monkies

http://grannygear.com/Races/Killington/index.shtml

It is July 22nd and 23rd, that's the weekend after Pat's Peak.

Is this event new for 2006?

I'd love to do a Granny Gear race.

 

[mogulskr]

Yes, it is a new event. I'm hoping we wouldn't have to ride up Killington. Pat's Peak is bad enough.

That is the weekend of Monkey fest !

But I'm glad to hear they went granny gear . I had been told that Stuart was negtiating with them , since he was not doing dalton.

Can you do a 5 person all male team in Granny Gear Races?

5 Man is listed as a race category!

I'll put this on the maybe list for 2007. It ain't gonna happen for me this year.

 

[MMcG]

I'd be down for this in 2007 methinks. 2006 isn't sucha good year for me and endurance races since I'm such a poor mofo these days.

holy crap ! I missed that ! that explains the lap times at 1:30 +

also Makes Pats Peak 5.0 Miles 847 feet of climbing look a lot better

You know what's was cool about this event was the online timing. I check it out on Sunday morning and you could see everyone lap times and number of laps. It had fastest laps and all that real time.

Back? Not sure how granny gear can go back to places that they (more than likely) lost money at due to low turnout, like Killington & GA

August 12th through the 19th. If they are not too bad I will convince my Dad to take the lift up with me and do some shuttling, I bet he would enjoy it.
