The East Tennessee State University Cycling Team will be hosting an event Sept 3-4, 2005 on campus. The event will be an open DS or Dual, DH race and collegiate DS, DH, XC.

The DS, DH race will be Sat, the 3rd. Tentative schedule as follows;

DS or Dual- Qualify @ 10am, race at 11am
DH- First run @ 3pm followed immediately by 2nd run. Best run time format.

DH course has been modified to create a more technical course, but short-travel rear is still optimal

We are planning to create new slalom course, but work has not yet been approved!

We are trying to get this race to count as the TN state championships and Southeast Regional for Downhill and Dual. Here is a generic flyer (sorry I am at Work).
Rolling at the Ridge

The ETSU Cycling Club is bringing it back to campus with the fourth rendition of Rolling at the Ridge. This year promises to be another exciting venue with an all new slalom course and redesigned Downhill. The Downhill will follow the original campus trail, but there will be some new berms built to make the course even faster. Don’t miss the show as the Southeast’s best collegiate riders battle it out alongside all the NORBA riders.

Directions: Take I-26 to exit 31 and turn left (from either direction). After the interstate exits, you will pass through two traffic lights. Turn left on Southwest Ave after the second light (first entrance to campus). At four-way stop turn left and then take the first left. You should be able to see registration by now!

can I bring a Honda z50 for the DH? I'm really lazy these days.

So what up with Buffalo Mtn? they put the smack down or something?

 

[profro]

I'm there!

 

[ztlh13]

Buffalo= too much work to get all those collegiate riders up! Besides they already destroy themselves on campus. The berms will make the course much faster and a little less pedalling!

BTW the race will be the TN state champs as well as the Regional Champs, so in addition to a great race you will get extra points!

 

[bizutch]

Thanks for the invite but not interested bro. We all know I have zero slalom skill, and my DH bike is too much for the campus course.

 

[profro]

Sometimes you should race for the fun and atmosphere. I have no chance of winning either but I still do it. We can race our DH bikes together. You know JR will be on his.

 

[bizutch]

maybe it's the cracked kneecap I have from that rock last year that screams at me "NOOOoooooo"

 

[profro]

Yeah, I was standing right there with my arm in a sling from my accident at Windrock ans saw the whole thing. Didn't look good. Man if I didn't ride places where I've crashed I won't be able to ride anywhere.

Oh man! Jeremy you make me laugh so hard sometimes. ink:

I wish more people could have witnessed that. I consider it some of my finest work.

OK OK...I'll come...but only because your jokes are better than Herndon yelling at Cecil...

I got behind on the paper work (for the Core, Cane Creek & USA Cycling) so they weren't submitted until last Thursday. Sorry about the delay but they should be posted soon.

Later

 

[Peete]

Crap, same weekend as the NBL Grands. I'm trying to talk Jr. into doing Snowshoe or VT. instead of the Grands this year. Maybe some DS action the same weekend as the Grands will push him over.
