Me and 2 or 3 other guys will be out at beacon hill on sunday more then likely to do some runs before the race (5/19-5/20). Hope to see you guys out there!


It may be short notice for some of you guys all the way out here on the west but I'm sure theres some locals that should come out and take some runs!

and yes I spelled it bacon

oh yeah we rode with ben I think for a couple runs and I'm sure I saw you and kyle. I hurt my thumb in the early morning so I was out after my 6th run which sucked but we will be at it this sunday cause I think were going just for the day. Long 10 hour drive there and back

i think we are full capacity. we got four people and four bikes. five is too crammed.
Duct tape him to the roof if ya have too, the more the merrier. :monkey:

I dont envy your drive home, 4 guys after riding locked in a truck for 4 hours, its bad enough on the hour and a half drive back to Pullman.

We are going up tommorrow after school too mike. Ruthie has to get the step down and the waterfall, and I am going to bring the stop watch again. I know I can shave even more time.

I have a few places to make up time. I had a few mistakes in my run, we need to time the runs closer to the beginning of the day when we are fresh.

definatly, that middle section kills me. we need to find the right speed in to the corner you keep washing out in. I still need work on the rock after the step down up top, I feel so sketchy on that section.

yeah I think just finally getting some new rubber will help more than anything. I'm basically running slicks right now.

I really want to work on the triple hump. I lose so much speed through there, and the rock after the stepdown can always be a little better. just a little here and alittle there, it all adds up.

Alright, just in case I go, who needs a ride? Would leave at 6am from Tacoma. Like I said, this is a 70/30 that I'm going. G/F is having major surgery on Monday and I'm not sure she'll let me go away this weekend. Does any know the Lat and Long for this place so I can put it in my GPS unit and it will show me the way there.
