According to the Cane Creek site it's getting close.
Can't find a flyer online. Mike?
Based on the success of the DH bike class last year will there be another one this year?

Oct 1st is right. Should start the bobcat next week. Anybody have any suggestions, that don't involve building an actual hill for the course.:biggrin: Hopefully it will keep raining once in a while.

just don't forget the step-up over the fire pit!

what are you plans with the 4 pack? it's too small to double now. gonna make it a triple and build up the hip thingy?

how hard would it be to move the finish line table back about 5-10' w/ the bobcata? that thing could be a showtime type of thingy if you had a little more time to set up for it and tweaked the lip a bit.

let us know when you'll have the bobcat. i'm on 2nd shift all this month so if i'm working that day i can at least help out in the morning.

the doubles in the woods need some serious love, pretty worn out but still makeable. i think we should definitely keep them there though, helps split the classes a bit.

Terry, how are your trails doing these days?
The dual course looks awsome. The collegiate race went down on a semi-wet surface and now the course is hard and fast. The DS is in the finishing stages and we only finished one HUGE DJ near the bottom, but dirt is in place for shaping for six more smaller jumps. Oh and there are some other jumps (small) that are something other than DJ's.
With the trails this is a small bike heaven! Maybe soon I will be able to ride it too!

If you can ride before the weather gets bad let's coordinate a day at the slalom course.

dude, you seriously need to write stuff down. how many times have you followed me to sugar/dark mountain and still can't get there by yourself? oh yeah...and the pit too! dude! c'mon man, i'll get you a pad and paper as a belated b-day present.

Since the race is on sunday I plan on getting up there as early as possible saturday. The only thing is Katie is running XC and if she has a meet we have to wait for her.
The kids and I want to get over to CP for some riding if time permits.
Anyone else want to join in? I should have a good idea of when the XC meet will finish before then so we can plan a time.

Ok, it has been a long time sense I have last been there. How do I get there off I-85 coming from Greenville. I am going to try to come up. I had lots of fun at the last race I did there a few years back there. Will there be a cross-country DH race?

you've never been to hobby? oh..i thought i met you out there one day. hmmm, ok, it's kinda like your going to dark mountain but REALLY different :D

40 west to peters creek pkwy exit
right at the light toward the McD's which will be on your right.
right on clemmonsville Rd, will be an off ramp type of deal. there will be a newer looking gas station and a wendys on your right at the light before you make the turn onto clemmonsville rd. i think there is a shopping center on the left there as well.
once on clemmonsville rd...turn left at first light onto OLD SALISBURY RD. Then take a right at the next light which is clemmonsville rd again (same name, different section of the road)
you'll go through a light with a gas station at the corner. hobby park will be about 1/4 - 1/2 mile past that on your right. brown sign with a steep paved hill. DS course is at the end of the driveway on the right. XC trails start at the top of the hill.

sorry cecil....no XC DH course this time around. ;)
of course back then....the rock garden seemed gnarly to me

and you can't forget the good 'ole roof drop

college does not symbolize a persons level of "smartness", just their ability to pay for a piece of paper that says they sat through enough classes taught by professors who have been in academia to long to know what the "real world" is like.

but josh...we're just pickin' man ;)

yup... "smartness"
I suppose that UNCG has yet to inform you that quotations are commonly used to annotate dialect and colloquialisms, ie: “smartness” as an urban dialect for “educated” or “well-learned”.

And josh…stew was referring to john in reference to the college thing; which is a moot point anyway since john hasn’t finished high school yet. It’s like making fun of a 10 year old for not having any pubes.

What college are you talking about, because maybe I should have gone there if all I had to do was sit through classes:brow:
