I'm thinking of coming down to VA for the race at Massanutten in May. Turns out, I can fly from Maine and rent a car for probably less than it would cost me to drive, but I'm trying to get some details figured out.
1. Lodging - I've read that last year they offered $65/night rates for racers. Does anyone know whether they'll do it again this year?
2. Sunday - due to Mothers' Day, they're planning to have practice on Friday and racing on Saturday. Will they be running the lifts on Sunday for freeriding, or should I just plan to pack up and head out Saturday night/Sunday morning?
3. Equipment - Because I'm flying, I won't have the luxury of bringing a numerous sets of tires or much backup equipment. So what sort of course should I expect? Fast, wide open, and not too steep (Mount Snow sans Yard Sale)? Steep, tight, loamy (Sunday River)? Hardpack (Diablo/Whistler)? Rocky (Plattekill)? Basically, I've got to pick out tires and a bike - I can either bring my Shocker/888 or my Bullit/DHX Air/Totem Air.
Thanks guys,
