I've got the Fundementals of Engineering exam on saturday, but I will hopefully be there on sunday. I don't care about the race, I am just using it as a training ride for PA. Rarely do you do a full "race" run in training (especially with as much pedaling as beacon has)
Supposed to stay cooler and drop a little rain on us but not torrents. Should be just enough to keep traction prime.
Good luck with the Exam and see you Sunday!

hahaha. what is thst supposed to mean?^^ I promise it will be a Beacon course
yeah a real ccourse would be nice to break in my new bike!
Good Luck buddy
For sure! All I'm saying is that I've been to Beacon for about the last 10 years and I've seen a few different courses and there are definitely ways that it is smooth and crosses the hill a lot and there are ways that it is rough and goes more fall line. I for one would prefer a short rough course that maintains speed to a long pedally course that puts people without a middle bike at a disadvantage.^^ I promise it will be a Beacon course
Timing was not smooth for them, hopefully they get us some results soon. They didn't tell us our second run times yesterday.
As a photographer, I love the whistles.
I tried something new, didn't know that it would be a permissions problem with the site and that if you weren't logged in it wouldn't show the link.
) that Cindy had results to send me. I will get them today and get them up on the Butler site and here too. Sorry for that unintended delay; and thanks for posting it up first, Mark (and then fixing the linking ).
lol we have much bigger issues to deal with than some old dormant downhill lines. Like keeping motorcycles out of there. The WIM xc series was cutting in tons of singletrack, old history.
Yes, motorcycles are a problem but there is a process now for building any sort of new trails, as I'm sure you know. Unapproved trail building at Beacon is a thing of the past.
The City is against changes on existing trails but for now there is a new group which will make decisions on all trail changes. So in the future any changes need to be approved by the group first (me and Dan are in the group). The only problem we had with the 'new' line is that the landings for the drops need to be armored and have some sort of transition. Trails need to be sustainable. There doesn't need to be any more erosion-prone lines.
To the blowout organizers. I thought I heard this event was a USA Cycling sanctioned race. Just wondering why we haven't seen any results on the USA Cycling web site yet?
