Awesome practice times. Go Norba.
You don't go to a NORBA National to ride your bike.Bicyclist said:
If I ever figure out why you do go to a national I will let you know
I think he means you get bad courses, long lines, rude people, expensive entry fees and barely any time to ride (at 7am).Bicyclist said:
according to the schedule beginners and sports race at 9:30 AM.
Fontana - Where body armour has a whole different meaning!
May I suggest Dainese's new bullet-proof line of body armour?Transcend said:
For this race it looks like I'm going to be sleeping in the back of a Rover...for sure gonna get shot on
what does that mean?
ha never mind i get it now
ha never mind i get it now
Haha, so true. At least they have plenty of awesome taquerias.Transcend said:

Screw Subway...there's Nogales BurgerBicyclist said:Dude, they've got Subway. And Subway carries Sunchips. Enough said.
screw subway and nogales, that taco shop is sooooo good! Shuttle lines will suck, hiking is where its at. I cant see how they would close the course after practice if you just wanted to hike
are the shuttle lines really long. It would be my first time going and i'm justifying wether its a good idea or not.
Go and give me a ride with you...SBDownhillRacer said:
Really now, I'm not expecting much from this event. I think it's going to be a giant cluster****, and generally not go off very well. No matter what though, racing in **** is better than not racing at all, IMO.

It'll be interesting to see, they are going to use more trucks than a normal weekend, you have split practices, if your an expert it'll be golden as only experts ill be out there. It'll probably be about the same as a normal national were you stand in live forver to get on the lift then have a 10 or long ride to the top
and be thankful you have a place to race, it's look like we'll pretty much have no lift serviced races here in cali.
I particularly liked how last year (atleast at Snowshoe) they scheduled expert DH at the same time as DS. i can't tell you how much i enjoyed sprinting after my DH run (that i crashed my brains out during) back to my condo, switching bikes and gear, sprinting back across the top of the mountain just in time to have COMPLETELY MISSED Slalom practice. If the norba nationals wasn't the only fricken race remotely near me this year, i'd be all over the boycott bandwagon.Transcend said:
That's pretty much what I said when I saw the schedule--it's pretty bad. I was planning to go on Friday, but now I have to scramble to work things out so I can go on Thursday. NORBA makes it really difficult for people who have to work for a living...Transcend said:
Bottom-line, if you can't get Friday off of work, then you might as forget about going. You would never get enough practice time in to even make it worth your while...
i'm thinkin about headin up at 4 am saturday morning, becasue i have school on friday.
yea i'm leaning towards not goin at the moment, doesnt really sound worth my while, i may just stick around and ride some local trails.
