Me and a buddy signed up today...see y'all sunday

 

[waterdogs]

I will not be the only one. I know of 6 to 10 guys saying they are coming.

Cecil

Well they better hurry up... there's only 32 spots left. Max signed up, so for the moment, Team RM East is on the podium 1-2 by default.

 

[waterdogs]

Make that 30 left.

 

[brado1]

The Park and USA Cycling are letting us raise the Rider Cap from 99 to 125.... beyond that will have to turn folks away.


if for some reason on the online register site says the category is full just register in the next category we'll get it figured out when you check in at either the Pre-Race party or Day of check-In..... we'll make sure you race in the proper category. Thanks guys

as of 1:24pm Wed Nov 9 there are 85 riders registered.

 

[waterdogs]

Awesome Brad!

I was planning on being out there all day Saturday. If you, Jarrett, or anyone need any help just let me know. Photo time is 2:00 p.m.

Jay (and Heither)

 

[brado1]

we'll be out there all day getting the course marked and prepped...

6pm over at Sunrift is the party bonfire, bring bikes we will be riding on the pumptrack behind the baseball field. there will be lights.

Racers can check-in and get their stuff on Saturday night

[fortenndu]

No, my old slow ass is not scaring away anyone.

Cecil

They probably just don't want to hear about your relationships.

 

[bizutch]

100% positive that I have never been as big of a douche as you are at this moment. And that is really saying a alot. Please delete that. Too much disrespect, even for this place.

 

[AndyPav]

anyone need a lift from the columbus/atlanta area?? ill be leaving friday around 4pm. message me if u want a ride

 

[brado1]

FYI: Paris Mountain State Park is on Winter Hours; which means the Park closes at 6pm

 

[trap121]

So there is not going to be a shuttle running Saturday??

Im driving out there by myself Saturday and was hoping to get some practice in,. I have a bike rack that hold 4 bikes if anyone knows of a driver that is gonna be out there??

Is it to far to hike a bike?

 

[brado1]

i'm sure you 'll be able to get a ride or two up, there will be plenty of people that'll be doing runs. best place to start would be at Shelter 5&6 or at the Archery Range parking lot.

 

[waterdogs]

Heither went to Paris today, last ngiht's rain has knocked off most of the leaves and she says they are everywhere. I've heard a few people complain about the leaves.... any plan to bring out some blowers on Sat (I will help).

 

[brado1]

HEADS UP!!!

As of 5 minutes ago Duke @ USA Cycling informed us. That all racers must wear a full-face helmet. I know we've been telling telling everyone that a full-face wasn't required... because we never required that in the past races. but those races were not USAC sanctioned events.

Sorry i know this is a major inconvenience to everyone to change up the rules 3 days before the race... if you need to refund let us know contact Jarret jpeek@eccorp1.com or myself...

To all riders that may have an extra Full-Face Helmet that someone can barrow that would be very cool...

as per USAC Rules Page 54 1N1. Helmets. At all times when participating in an event held under a USA Cycling event permit, including club rides, any rider on a bicycle or motorcycle shall wear a protective, securely fastened helmet that satisfies the standards specified in USA Cycling Policies. (Policy I, Sections 1 and 2 – see appendices.) [disqualification and a $20 fine for failure to wear or for removing such a helmet during a race. The fine is also applicable if the rider is not racing, but is participating in the event as described below]. "Participating in an event" means riding a bicycle in the vicinity of a race at any time between the beginning of registration and the last awarding of prizes, but does not apply to riding rollers or stationary trainers in order to warm up.
1N2. For downhill and 4X events, a full-face helmet must be worn.


there you have it. again sorry for the inconvenience

 

[nate22]

I'm in hardtail class right now but i'd like to change. Can I do that?

 

[eccorp]

Yep. Noticed that too. I am headed out there at sunrise to blow leaves, build bridge, work on upper berms, and look at possible jump near finish line. I hate cutting trees though. Anyone want to come out and help? I have a group coming round noon to 2.

 

[eccorp]

UPDATE ON THE FULL FACE HELMET RULE

Since this is our first year putting on a race with USAC, they are willing to let you guys who don't have full face helmets ride with a regular helmet. Thanks to all of you for making what I hope to be a fun weekend.

 

[eccorp]

Email me your name. My contact info is on the registration site and I will change. What cat do you want to change too?

Well they (USAC) were going to let us slide without requiring the full-face helmets, and now reverse that decision...


So Now as of 8:00PM on Thursday night changed it again

FULL-FACE HELMETS ARE REQUIRED TO RACE!

Sorry again for any inconveniences...

 

[dirtyjungle]

I have a full face helmet for sale if anyone is interseted I will sell it to a Racer for 50 only a racer. I wish I could afford to give it away or just let people use it but I can't so 50 for racers only here is a link to pics.
Rock Garden Helmet - Pinkbike.com

 

[vinnycactus]

If anyone is looking for a full face from the charlotte area I have a large tld I can loan out.

 

[demolition dave]

I have 3 OLD full face helmets that I will donate to anyone who dares to wear them! I'll try to give them to Brad or Jarrett on Saturday.

 

[FCLinder]

I have 1 or 2 I will be bringing for those that need one for the day. Brad will have them. Both Med.

Cecil

 

[drkenan]

If anyone from Asheville wants to borrow (or better yet, buy) my old full face - TLD D2 Peaty - just hit me up. At this point it doesn't look like I'm gonna make the race due to a mutherfvcking kidney stone but maybe that will change.

I should be getting there around noon. I'll cut down some trees, pm me, let me know when and where

 

[dirtyjungle]

I should be getting there around noon. I'll cut down some trees, pm me, let me know when and where

Me to I should be there by 1 if you still need help then I will be around. PM me with some info. I got to set up the camper real quik b4 I do anything.

 

[waterdogs]

I assume Jarrett and you guys are talking about meeting up on Sat for some trail work? With work and daylight savings, I can't make it out there today (Friday) or during the week. We'll be out on Sat early 0800 or 0900, as soon as I can get my wife out of bed and the dog loaded up.

 

[eccorp]

Headed out there shortly. Blew the leaves of the trail this morning. Probably again before practice and Sunday morning. See you guys there.

 

[eccorp]

Will be out there round 7am tomorrow.

 

[bizutch]

If I can sell a pair of DH tires, I can make it. Anybody need to buy new Michelin DH Comp 16's or Comp 24's in 2.5 width?

I hate to part with them, but what sense is holding onto them if I can't race? $35 for the 16's or 430 for the 24's. Paypal payment to bizutch@hotmail.com or call me at 828-338-9125. Need to get the money in time to register tomorrow afternoon.

 

[vinnycactus]

Someone please buy butches tires. Hate to see him miss running over small children for $8 grips during the parts toss.

...toughen up Nancy. 4th place get trophies in your town?

 

[vinnycactus]

Not quite sure what that has to do with you running over small children for $8 grips.

 

[jstuhlman]

wtf cactus. grips are important. srsly. grips or GTFO.

 

[vinnycactus]

even if they're non-lock on?

 

[FCLinder]

Big thanks goes out to Jarret Peek, Brad Alen, and Crew. Great event guys!!! Myself and I am sure tons of others had a great time!!!!

Cecil

 

[waterdogs]

Agreed! Thanks to all involved, especially the State Park System. Couldn't ask for a better event in our backyard and should thank the rangers more often.

I had an absolute blast!

 

[waterdogs]

Oh, and pics coming as soon as I have chance to go through the almost 2000 frames I shot.

 

[brado1]

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone involved. Taking a vacation and then back to planning next Years race. Any input would be greatly appreciative as it is the racers and volunteers, and sponsors that made the race a success this year.
