- Thread starter I Are Baboon
- Start date
Cool!
Pre rode the course today with IAB , MMcG and Ktsmx. ( see ride reports for pics )
and the course is challenging course , while it does nopt have any big climbs , it is a very rolling course. it is also always twisting and turning , you have to always keep alert as to what is going on, rocks , Mud , loose dirt , braches , etc , etc.
I must say that every thing is ridable
here is the map I made from GPS, and the top there is a little spike, hat is by the pavillion , where the exchange point is , and you travel in a clockwide direction.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your inquiry.
Everyone on your team will sign a waiver when they check-in.
You must check-in as a team. Once everyone signs a waiver you will get your race numbers & baton for the event.
The pre-race meeting is for ALL team members.
See you next weekend!
Regards,
Steve
You guys might want to think about getting there earlier than you planned....
Registration opens at 2:00 friday. Hopefully we can at least be given our campsite assignments if our whole team hasn't shown up at that point.
Thanks for the info. I wonder if I ended up getting a site with you guys or off in the bushes alone 
Hey, as our race is finishing up, MBC's first ever DH race will be just about getting underway!

YEAH! I am glad she's going to do it. Now, the important question...what's she riding and who's her photographer?
Rob emailed me this weekend - him and I might carpool down on saturday AM, he was planning on leaving between 6 and 6:30. I think that will give us adequate time, what do you think?
If we don't get our assigned campsites until the whole team is there, well that would just be dumb.
We better since I'm camping there Fri. night and the rest of my team isn't getting there until Sat. morning. If we don't, I'm crashin on your couch Baboon!!
We have a guest bedroom, but if you prefer the couch, that's cool.
How far are you from the venue?
LOL! I think I'm about 3 hours away (atleast according to mapquest & yahoo maps). I have the little monkey on Friday night and my folks are coming over to watch her for the weekend so I can get up and go on Saturday morning.dibs on the bedroom!!!!!
dibs on the bedroom!!!!!
Velocity will be so excited!
She may want to sleep on your chest. She does that.

Doh! Maybe I'll camp. I'm allergic to cats...and dogs.Velocity will be so excited!

Tigg is pounding his head because he needs beer.
I'll look at the 80/5 degree when I get to your house.
Tigg - as I mentioned - I'll bring two or four extra stems with me.
good god, man. How many do you have? one in every size?
and do we get a picnic table?
I did not see fire pits.
I don't know if we get a picnic table. It'd sure be nice if we did! I think most of the campsites have picnic tables.

After I posted that I remembered a picture of the campsite from your ride report - from the photo it looks like there were a few circular cast iron fire pits at the sites, at least I think thats what they are.
its a freakin camp ground, how can they not allow fires??
Maybe we can just burn that camper and toast marshmallows over it.
