No racing for me this weekend, I'm stuck in Texas work playing with the Airforce, and I can say 90% humidity and 90 degrees sucks a$$.

The snow would be a blast if it did snow.

^ southridgeusa.com Go to the blu link in the top area. You will see the waver and the flyer with a map.

I will be in beginner 16-18 DH on my hardtail.

Mmmm looks like I missed out on the winter races. Anyone know if there will be a Spring one?

I would be racing on my hardtail, too.

Would you say that there is a significant time difference between the sport poduim finishes and the beginner podium finishes?

So Joe has vertigo as a result of a concussion from last weekend. He won't be making it out. With the threat of weather and my roadtrip buddy out of action, it looks like I might not make it out. Bummer.

Uhh Fontana is south of split pea soup village. It's probably a 2.5-3hr drive from where you're at. Plenty of :dancing:'s to hang with.

This weekend the weather is suspose to suck here, I wonder if the bad weather is going as far down south as Fontana?

I haven't raced yet but really shouldn't started as a beginner. I just got a Sunday and should race semi professional or something, can I just sign up or do I need points?

It sounds like the Sport class might be a good place for you to start.

Noah...I'm with you this weekend--I think I will be sitting this race out. I tweaked my elbow last weeked, so the thought of racing hurt, in the cold, and rain doesn't really appeal to me...

Have you been riding a real long time? Just sign up for Sport and see how it all goes....

Anyone have room for two people to sleep? I don't really fancy sleeping in the back of the truck in this kind of weather.
I live about an hour south of there..... but if you're desperate, I've got a couch and a futon....

TJ decided that he has absolutly no chance beating me, so he said he doesnt want to race. I stoked, cuz I get to go snowboarding for the 3rd day in a row in the nice freshies, oh ya, and coming home tonite from mt high (6 hour drive cuz someone wrecked, 5 miles in 3 hours!) there was snow sticking to the ground in the bushes on the 15 and 210 interchange! I bet it snowed in fontana, but it wouldnt stick
