i will be there opening weekend (although i just found out that that sunday has a race. :mumble: )
specific days are 25th and 26th.
It does blow that there is a race the weekend you come in. You'll be fine on Saturday, all the trails will be open. Unfortunately, on Sunday you'll be limited on what trails you can ride. Oh well, at least Saturday will be fun.narlus said:
Can you get out early and beat the closure? A number of years back I was up at Steamboat on a race weekend and was able to ride the mountain *really* early on race day.narlus said:
I'll be staying up there at our place from the 23rd-26th. We will ride on the 25th & 26th!!!! Its not that bad riding there when there is a race. I usally get there when they first open and ride the course most of the morning then just ride elsewhere for the rest of the day. It's doable not graet but doable, Joe Pozer has the adavntage to be a fair weather rider, I have to take advantage of ANY N* time and make the best of it.
Where are you staying?
True, riding on a race weekend is better than not riding at all if you don't have much free time. Sucks that the race fell on the weekend Narlus is coming but it will still be a good time.Brian HCM#1 said:
Of course, Narlus could always do N* on Saturday and Downieville on Sunday.
That is very very true!!!
your cabin?Brian HCM#1 said:
a friend's got a place on the south (i think near heavenly?)
i will *only* have my DH bike though...i've been on d-ville and that 5 mile climb on chimney rock would not be fun on a DH bike!Joe Pozer said:True, riding on a race weekend is better than not riding at all if you don't have much free time.

Thats a little bit of a drive, it will take you about 40-50min to get there from South Shore.narlus said:your cabin?

You don't have to hit Chimney rock when you ride at Downieville. You can just go down Butcher Ranch which is part of the DH race. Althought a long travel bike is better suited for Downie, going down Butcher ranch on a Dh bike is a blast.narlus said:
All that said, N* is going to be a great time no matter what...There will still be other trails open during the race...and I wish I could make it up there myself.
well, it's free. you gotta remember, i'm used to drive 3-4 hours to get to a DH mountain. under an hour? phffft. child's play.Brian HCM#1 said:
unless yr cabin is open.

I'll have 4 screaming kids at my place, 5, 3, 2 &1 You probably wouldn't want to stay at my place. Come to think of it, I don't want to be there eithernarlus said:well, it's free. you gotta remember, i'm used to drive 3-4 hours to get to a DH mountain. under an hour? phffft. child's play.
