right now its looking really clear, friday looks cloudy. but temps in the 60's and 70's sunny most of the time.
ETSU Race April 5th!
- Thread starter tbird0216
- Start date
So what DH course are you guys using? The 48 sec one?
48 seconds? is that a joke?
Yes, the fast times are about 1:30.
Sorry was told its really short and times were under 1 min. Jeremy knows better as he has raced it before.
Average times are about 2 ish
1:40ish if you fracture your knee cap on the last rock and hop across the finish line like me.
ahahaha I remember that rock during the collegiate race, hilarity ensued at the finish.
the bottom of the course is really the only thing worthy of calling it a dh race, so its a great place to watch some crashes.
sounds like a blast, cant wait to meet you guys, still havnt called O'Hatnick though to see if he wants to go.
Unfortunately i cant come any more (funeral on saturday) but i was really hoping to ride that dual again. Hope it goes well
Looks like non stop RAIN today,Friday,Saturday. I'm guessing 99.9% no slalom!
Still going to have the XC & DH mudfest ?
yea, what's the deal with this? could somebody post about any changes that will take place? thanks guys
what will probably happen is we will still do xc and dh and save slalom for the last event for any hopes of drying. if we can get a few solid hours of sunshine it will dry out but we gotta hope for that to happen. definitely dont miss out on the mud fest though.
Ha, I found a pic from the last time I raced ETSU.
Check out the gauze sticking out of my knee pad.
I took all the skin off of it earlier in the week, and could barely walk.
Racing was not a problem though.:biggrin:

an interesting line if thats where i think it is.
Yeah pretty sure thats the rock at the end judging by the angle of descent. Too bad i cant come any more but i was going to see if i could send it to... rock garden/creek? haha
ahaha. as long as you thread the needle through those skinny trees at the end youre good.
geez...I remember when I got into DH in 96, everybody just got a flyer at the bike shop off the fax, mailed in their registration, showed up, found the big yellow bus, and rode their bikes till it got dark...seems like there was a raced mixed in there somewhere....every single weekend, rain or shine.

Since the rain has pretty much not stopped we are going to still run xc in the morning, but we are going to run dh after that. we are hopefully going to give the slalom course enough time to dry. so once xc finishes we will open up dh practice. and then weather depending we will have slalom.
It should be a slop fest but our ds course only needs 3-4 hours of good dry time and its normally good to race! But everything is taped and good to go for in the morning!!!
the trails are located just behind campus
and you got misshapen pottery and mismatched socks for prizes.....geez...I remember when I got into DH in 96, everybody just got a flyer at the bike shop off the fax, mailed in their registration, showed up, found the big yellow bus, and rode their bikes till it got dark...seems like there was a raced mixed in there somewhere....every single weekend, rain or shine.

did y'all end up doing slalom after all?
we tried to do slalom but it was just too wet. it needed a few more hours of drying to be really rideable.
haha yeah my last name is "McCutchen"...but it's okay...happens all the time
