Beech Mountain DH and DS Qualifier
- Thread starter beechmtndh
- Start date
Thanks Talia for keeping an eye on this thread and being open to feedback. Just have a logistics question. With people camping for three or four days, would it be possible to get some of the restrooms opened? It would be really nice to have access to some running water so we dont have to bathe at the bikewash. At a large event like this it doesnt take long for the portajohns to turn to complete funk. Much more sanitary,and there are people out there with certain health issues. Thanks for your concederation.
Thanks for updating the results. I am a Cat 1 45-49 and still listed in with the young whippersnappers in the 40-44 category though. Eddie Roberts license #100769. Trust me, I need all the help I can get too. Thanks
Should be going up soon. Hope you guys like:

Anybody have any pics/video of the DS?
Thanks, it's always nice to see what ya missed.
Great pics. Thanks for taking and posting!
Bathrooms...
Sorry boys and girls, but we are using porta johns for the events. If the bathrooms in the cafeteria are finished by then, we may open those up. We are supposed to be remodeling them. Basically the set up for nationals goes as follows: parking lot 3 will be overnight primative camping, 2 will be expo and team, and 1 will be general parking. We will have porta johns in each parking lot, every teir of the resort, near the slalom, on the summer road and more at the top of the mountain. I am using triple T, because they literally come out to clean and service each unit, daily. They are also providing pumping services for anyone with an RV. I do have access to some bathrooms on site, if someone is extra stinky I might be nice and let them use mine. I realize the need for water, we will have some hand washing stations. I will see what we can do, to open up more bathrooms. As of now, we will jsut have the mobile units, but I can assure you they will be clean, and serviced, and they will service RVs at no charge. I think we have a total of 60 portable restrooms. I will let everyone know about the cafeteria...
oh and if you pee in the woods, try not to let the old people see you, I have been fielding phone calls all week : ) I will try and provide more restrooms, if everyone can try and use them rather than outside.

Thanks again T . It is obvious that you are doing everything in your power to accomidate the needs of all. Can hardly wait untill this whole thing gets rolling full tilt boogie!!!
FYI, one hose for several hundred riders will be a nightmare of a bike washing station. I know you know this already, but I've been to a National with one hose and wasn't too fun, so I gotta toss that out there..... 
Its in teh requirements that I have to have multiple stations. Dont worry.. we will get it worked out for you. I think we will have one in the village, one behind the beech tree, and one in front of beech tree. I will let you know for sure.
Still looking for the results of the Dual Slalom to be added to the USA Cycling website. I want to register but can't until they are posted. Is there anyone we can contact to check on this? I suspect there are more than a few people waiting for these results to be posted.
Neat pic of my bike and leg.
Any one we can talk to about getting a 10x10 booth space for Nat finals?
I guess somewhat along the lines of DS results I tried to send an email to the link at the bottom of the results page for the DH race to report missing info but i haven't heard anything back and nothing has changed..
The results from beech don't list my usac license #. However my name is listed in the qualified list for nationals also with no license # attached to it.
Basically when you try to register for nationals it says don't be a dumbass and register for a race you aren't qualified for or you will lose your money. But i don't get how it is supposed to work when I have my name on there but nothing to tie that name to it being me.
Should I just call some USAC representative and tell them whats up, and if so who? I don't wanna send out 60 bucks and then get there and have some issue come up.

Results are posted this afternoon: http://www.usacycling.org/results/?permit=2011-2901
Not sure why some have points, some don't and why juniors are mixed in with Cat 2 and Cat 3 results.
USAC told me that the Nats DS Qualified Riders list will not be updated until tomorrow afternoon (24hrs after). http://www.usacycling.org/events/2011/mtbnationals/qual_list.php

Still looking for my name to show up on USA Cycling for DS. Cat1 30-39. I see names in Cat1 19-29 that have qualified from Beech, No qualified riders in the Cat1 30-39 class. It would be nice to be able to register. Time is closing in, the Championshipm will be here before you know it....The results for Cat1 men are all mixxed together with the Cat1 juniors and Cat1 19-29. It would be nice if you guys could get this straightened out!

And no, I am not factory. All my tires are courtesy of a hard working group of friends that built good relationships over a decade with DH product managers. I've paid out of my pocket as much as any other rider.
I'm so old school, I am certain I know the name of the product manager who coined the phrase "2 weeks".
Which was also the same guy who said, "I am holding them in my hands right now, they will ship out today!"I'm so old school, I am certain I know the name of the product manager who coined the phrase "2 weeks".
3 weeks later......
He was the nicest guy though.
I run into him once a week in my neighborhood getting in a short road ride. He took care of us well!!! To bad he is no longer in the 2 wheel group. His heart is still there, just in another group making more $$$ now.
Top Notch guy!!!
