Anybody going to the US OPEN this weekend?
- Thread starter stosh
- Start date
Pfft. Why would you want to watch people ride instead of really ride?
you can't ride. the whole mountain is open. If you are reg,..you can race the course. The rest of the mountain will be nearly empty. I'm in the am women category and hope to learn from these racers. Watching and riding is awesome fun. Although, a lot of my teammates will be a stewart preriding the race course. Good fun there too.
I'll be there. Black Mountain Cycle 9.5 with a 66sl, blue and red M2R helmet. Say hi if you see me!
Thanks Jess, I'm going to ride starting at 9am. I've ridden there a few times on my trail bike and it's great fun if you take some of the easier trails. Then we're planning on watching the pro's race.
I always enjoy the US Open at Diablo.
I'llbe hanging out drinking beer all weekend.
I'll be drinking post ride at Diablo and from there on out.
At Diablo? Damn, maybe I'll have to try and get down there.
It will be a fun time. I will be there riding for fun and shooting the race for a few clients.
Nah, here in sunny California. I'm working most of this weekend
Well in between several BBQ parties
I wish i was but im flying to FL this afternoon to hang out at the beach for the weekend...Ill be there in a couple weeks the red bull step down looks NASTY. Fraser snap some keepers.
lift lines will be
that thing is SLOOOOOW.
Dude are you sure you're thinking of the right place? Diablo's lift rocks.lift lines will be
i'll be there! it's easily my favorite and the best-run race all year. i'm already going over the old course in my head. i've heard the top piece is changing and i've seen the changes at the bottom. Germantown Cycles jersey, green R9... say hey if ya see me!
and i've never had issues with their lift, even with 400+ riders last year it was faster than nearly all the other resorts we raced at.

I am missing it for the first time in 4 years, because my knuckle ran off from the other knuckles. Must have needed some alone time.

too much five knuckle shuffle?I am missing it for the first time in 4 years, because my knuckle ran off from the other knuckles. Must have needed some alone time.
Sexual abuse is the leading cause of runaways.
Meh. It's NJ. It's a weekend day. I'd rather be on the bike than watching.
Nope. Still staying in NY and avoiding my native peoples.
From what I'm told the only trails you can't ride are the ones their racing on, which leaves many other trails open for fun
there's plenty of other trails to ride. don't be sissies. probably no riding for me. ribs are still borked. course marshalling on sunday.
I'll be wearing my ridemonkey shirt when I'm watching. When I'm riding I'll probably be the ONLY person there riding an Ironhorse MKIII.
I always feel funny riding my little bike there. I did ride Diablo a few years back on a Trek 4500. That was um....... interesting.
I'll be riding the 575, and yes I will be lowering the seatI'll be wearing my ridemonkey shirt when I'm watching. When I'm riding I'll probably be the ONLY person there riding an Ironhorse MKIII.

BTW if you have an old tire cut about 5" of it off and bring 2 zip ties. I'll show you what you need it for when you get there.
:huh: explain for the noob plz
You're going to strap it under where the down tube and head tube meet so your paint doesn't get f'ed up on the lift.
you can lower that seat?!?I'll be riding the 575, and yes I will be lowering the seat
Wht no gondola?
I like my seat high it helps with my knees. There is no difference when I stand or sit while pedaling, thats why I almost never stand on climbs. But I think I can lower my seat, I never tried.you can lower that seat?!?
You have to hang your front wheel over the edge of the gondola...
yep exactly!
