Who's in for the biggest party (err, serious bike racing) of the year?

The Colorado School of Mines team is road tripping it down there with 13-14 racers, looking to get some good east coast riding in.

We're booked for a slopeside condo at Sugar. CU and University of Wyoming will be nearby from what I hear. Anyone else staying on the slopes?

It's time to dust off those costumes for the banquet . . .

 

[WBC]

Plunder? has two going. Look out!

Also, Morewood will be in the house with a booth at Sugar. Come check out the new 2008 bikes!

 

[cshewmake7]

Yeah son! And one of the CU riders is winning it.

 

[zstyle_22]

Dude you better win or I'm going to stop telling people that you've been in videos.

What's the word on DH practice on Thursday? Possible to purchase a ticket through Sugar?

 

[profro]

Hey guys, Windrock is right on the way to Sugar just off I-40 in Knoxville about 3 hrs from Sugar. PM me if you'd like to stop by and get in some runs before or after. We have about 11 expert level DH runs with 2700 feet of vert.

 

[PatBranch]

Obviously, Parkfield was the most serious collegiate race of the year!

 

[bizutch]

All of you should definitely circle the wagons at Windrock for a day. You'll have a trip you can talk about for years to come. It's damn good!

 

[biketar827]

Cal Poly SLO and Davis will be hanging out on the mountain for sure. Watch out for us, we will be sliding all over the freakin place. Roots... what is that?

So what is this I hear about possible practice on Thursday? I thought it was kind of ridiculous that there are only 3 hours of practice on Friday and that the lift has a 28 min ride to the top!

 

[bizutch]

Ask for directions to Sugartop Condos. Once at that security gate, veer slightly left of the gate and turn left into the condo complex there. you'll be at the 3/4 point of the mountain. Take an immediate right in the condos and you'll see the slope on your left. Don't park at the gate. Don't leave a car in the lot. Take it back to the bottom or it will get towed. Shuttle.

 

[bikenweed]

Damn full time studentness and parttime workingness and full time being broke. Sure would be fun to head out East and throw food at "coaches".

 

[Mulestar]

It should be a good time having riders from schools all over here. I wish I could race but I didn't do any of the preliminary ones. People should PM me if you wanna do any riding/drinking.

^pretty chilly too, cold enough for snow possibly!!!

If you see a 32 year old up there with a 13 year old college ID trying to poach some runs and telling everyone his name is Frank DaTank,
please say Hi.

I thought it was kind of ridiculous that there are only 3 hours of practice on Friday and that the lift has a 28 min ride to the top!

We've collectively decided that Lees Mcrae is making a run for the Gold this year. By allowing only minimal practice on their home turf, they are trying to thwart the Colorado school dominance in the DH . . . it's a conspiracy I tell ya.

An entire day of slalom practice but just a few hours for dh? That's bassackwards! Should be bueno, though.

Anyway, I emailed the promoter about 3 weeks ago addressing the minimal practice issue - we now have 4.5 hours as a result. Check the schedule.

 

[biketar827]

4.5 hu? well I guess that is a little better. No word on Thursday?

Could we poach? It sounds like our place is 1/2 way up the mountain.

 

[motomike]

practice is always open if you know how to do it right.

Buying a lift ticket at Sugar Mountain is not your liability waiver for the trail system. The trail system is open to the public at no charge from dawn to dusk to avoid implied liability.

 

[axlvid23]

Yeah son! And one of the CU riders is winning it.

Both events. We're gonna win both events.

understand that being subtle is the biggest key! College mentality in private condo parking area = Jail Time in rural county that just kicked 10 of their 24 football players off the high school team for drug use.

 

[biketar827]

welp, we are defiantly screwed, I think we are the worst people at anything subtle

 

[biketar827]

so, who has a hotub?

 

[motomike]

little bit cocky eh?

 

[axlvid23]

little bit cocky eh?

figure we may as well start talking trash! a little of that is always healthy!:biggrin:

 

[WBC]

Watch out for the haggard as piss Devinci being ridden by the drunk dinosaur! PB for the win!

 

[Mulestar]

Lets get wastefaced. That's all I'm sayin

 

[bizutch]

little bit cocky eh?

You do realize we are expecting you to win...even if some token pro shows up to cherry pick...seeing as you know every teeny tiny inch of the course.

 

[biketar827]

I propose that we choose a neutral race site for 2008.
Something in another coutry, that is having summer right now.
How does New Zealand sound?

 

[biketar827]

the Colorado school dominance in the DH

Hey now.... Cal Poly will be right there, giving you a run for your money! We can't let you win everything, we want to play too.

 

[BRIANBUELL]

Front Range Community College Cycling will be there, all one of me! The sweater vests will be gunning for a D1 title to add to their already prestigious D2 title! This year I will try to not break myself within the first ten minutes! Saturday night I expect will hopefully be one big party with SL on Sunday!

 

[Mulestar]

are most of ya'll stayin in banner elk at the mountain?
