There will be three separate courses at all of the NW Cups. We are trying hard to create some links that will allow different tracks for everyone at each one.
We should be able to video the other two courses for Round 1 this weekend. Watch for this on Monday or Tuesday.
Awesome, can't wait to hit it on my unicycle...there's a uni class right?
Yeah but its only open to 29"+ wheels.
Does anyone know if this racing track is a good challenge? I like to really test myself, and have been interested in riding and racing in Port Angeles for quite sometime. This would be my first race, and am just curious if i'm gonna get good "bang for my buck"? I'd like to race for cash. Do I have to race Pro? I'm new to all of this, so your input is really appreciated.
Its a fun course. If this is your first race you wont win pro which I think has a cash prize, actually you wont even race the same course as the pros because you will either be CAT 2 or 3. You will learn plenty as long as you have the right attitude and your the only one that can truly test your self, the track doesn't really matter.
We have a new food vendor this year. They own the best Thai restaurant in town called Sabai Thai. Along with killer Thai food, they will be making full breakfasts, breakfast burritos, Cafe Vita coffee, lunch and dinner burritos and maybe more. They'll also have the usual drinks and snack stuff. Their Thai Iced Teas are killer too.
Prices will be very reasonable and the food will be great so support them if you can.

So I just wanted to make sure. The registration says you are registering for the Pro Gravity tour round one and NW Cup round 2 on April 22. This is actually the registration for The Pro Gravity Tour round one and NW Cup round 1 next weekend right? If not, could you post a link to the right registration site.
Thanks
Thanks
The first race (NW Cup #1) is next weekend and there is no pre-registration. It will be a register on-site situation like last year.
The second race (NW Cup #2) is also the first stop of the Pro GRT and pre-registration is open and strongly encouraged. We're capping it a bit lower this year to make sure everyone gets as much practice as possible
We just dramatically xpanded the parking situation today. Casey's older brother shredded it with a dozer.
The trails got some finishing touches and things are looking sweet. Everyone's saying that Falcon Punch is a sweet addition to the Cat 1/Pro course options.

Oops. I was looking at the dates wrong. Thanks for clarifying and looking forward to the race.
as far as a cheap hotel, I found a Super8 in town for $49 a night.
That's where we are staying as well now, found it last night. Thanks!
Practice starts today!
How was it?
No fenders today. It was the perfect loam today. Mud on your bike but none on the riders. Looking good for tomorrow as well.
Feels odd to be on this side of the Sound. Right about now, I should be laughing at all the other folks (aka-lightweights) at our campsite snoring in their tents! Next time.
Enjoy!!!
Enjoy!!!
Still dry out here as of 6am.
Anybody know if pro results have been posted?
Well done, KT.
Thanks KT and congratulations on the 3rd place finish!
I've got a PDF of them. pm me your email and I'll send it to you if you want it immediatly.
otherwise, it should be posted on NWcup.com any day.

We headed up for the 1st time, 13 hour drive from Auburn, CA. Really good racing. The tracks were well designed and offered a great variety. The vibe was casual and the racing serious. The event was very well run with real time results that you could see as riders finished without creeping over the timers shoulder. Good stuff and we will return.
