Because our road team was racing D2, and the MTB team was D1. USA Cycling says no mixing as of this year, so the powers that be decided to bump everything to D2......does it make sense, I think not.....oh well.

Brian, you may not be able to qualify for nationals with the small size of your team. Your best shot in DI is to apply for one of the very few individual spots. Think it over if you really want to get to NC - I know you've got the skills to make the podium in DI, it's just a gamble if you'll actually be able to go. Send an email to the conf director to make sure I'm not making things up :twitch:

After closing their lifts labor day weekend for public use, this is your FINAL CHANCE to get some riding in at SolVista. The lift will be open to racers and spectators during the event.

Avoiding the nine to five
The California Kid will be making a showing it looks like.

I was planning on riding Fruita and Grand Junction this weekend, but it looks like I'll just have to postpone that until the 17th.

And does anyone feel like biking in the Boulder area the week before this event? Looks like I'm going to be around from Tuesday until Thursday.

Does this mean I can bring my bike and ride the rest of the mountain even though I'm not racing?

Open class at SolVista - $20 entry and 75% payback! XC and DH​



Oh, and need I mention the High Speed Contest?!? That's right, we've got a radar gun and we're actually asking you to go as fast as possible on the DH! During your race run, your speed will be recorded at the last road crossing (after the big 'ski jump') on trail #2. The day's fastest rider will receive a donation of $100. Simple. :cheers:
