I'm gonna try to make it out to the race on the 23rd anyone else interested?

 

[rockofullr]

Nobody?

Somebody?

Anybody?

 

[rockofullr]

Fine screw you guys. I've got to work on Sunday now anyway so I'm gonna hold off till next race.

 

[rockofullr]

OK so I'm gonna make it out for sure on the 6th.

Anybody else?

 

[rockofullr]

Holy crap!! That was some sweet racing.

Ya'll are missing out. The course is technical and tight, better IMO than the Sea Otter track, and competition was stacked for a small local race (I got my a$$ handed to me even in the sport class).

Pictures will follow.

So who is going tomorrow after an entire week of rain? Is the race still on?

 

[rockofullr]

Did the race go off? I was out of town but will attend the next race.

Man I wish I lived closer, I'd totally be down to talk some shlt and fly over berms into people.

 

[rockofullr]

It's worth the drive. There are guys coming in from Sac and Nevada.

Plus the race fee is only $20

 

[rockofullr]

Finally got some pictures back from the race on Superbowl Sunday.

The berms are fast and clean.

The course is technical with jumps in and out of berms.

Even the rhythm section is fun.

All the Bay Area Monkeys should come and check it out. The atmosphere is laid back and the course is well designed, safe for all riders but a true challenge to ride FAST. I will be at the Mar 6th race hopefully you will be there too!

Photo credit to Alton Richardson. He is a professional photog but this was his first time at a MTB race (he usually shoots climbing check out his blog, http://altonrichardson.wordpress.com/). I hope to get him out to the next race as well.
