If they let Mike do trail maintenance with ATV assist they will be one step closer.......Who are they anyway???i cant wait for this race. its been 2 years since ive gone and its been way to long. but seriously whiteface needs to host a world cup event.
. New plan for registration this year that will be awesome for those that pre register.
Your pro??This will be the first time i have done a seeding run!!
No, I could have misread but i thought it said that Cat 1 will be doing seeding too.Your pro??
Not sure how I feel about seeding runs, I am not a pro so maybe a pro will give there feelings on this. Having to qualify is one thing, but a seeding run seems like a waste of time if everyone "qualifies". I see how it adds to the excitement of waiting for the faster riders, but is it worth it to push it if you know you are going to have a race run a short time later. Maybe a qualifier on Saturday would be better, especially with a long course like Whiteface.No, I could have misread but i thought it said that Cat 1 will be doing seeding too.
Edit: I did misread (Pro/Cat1 Women)
I see it as if the weather is going to turn bad then you sand baq it and get to go earlier in the day, i.e. Sam Hill in Andorra was it a few years ago?Not sure how I feel about seeding runs, I am not a pro so maybe a pro will give there feelings on this.

Sorry, I am at work and have nothing better to do but rant.
Open till 10-18-09. After Labor Day we go to Friday, Saturday and Sundays only.Mike, when is the mountain open until? I won't be back until after Interbike, but would like to head down this year and ride/shoot before it snows?
We had to keep the exact same classes as all other Gravity East races so points could be figured accurately. The Pro Women is combined with the Women Category 1. So only pros and cat 1 women will get a seeding run. If their were tons of cat 1 women it would not be fair to the cat 1 men, but the pro women and cat 1 women combined has only totaled 10 or so in all other races.No, I could have misread but i thought it said that Cat 1 will be doing seeding too.

How about 2014?Whiteface World Cup in 2011? A real mountain. C'mon Mike make it happen!
That sucks.If their were tons of cat 1 women it would not be fair to the cat 1 men, but the pro women and cat 1 women combined has only totaled 10 or so in all other races.
Same here, there are some incredibly talented women riders out there.Yeah. I wish more women would race.
Just a reminder: At Whiteface there is no camping in the parking lots. However, there are 3 campgrounds within 2 miles of Whiteface. 1 is just 100 yards from the entrance.Ryan are you camping ??
