Pats Peak July 14& 15 2007
Killington July 21 & 22 , 2007

why did they keep them only a week apart !! they could have at least put a 2 week gap in there.

and Holy Crap Killington is expensive!!! Solo rider $330 ! duo is $480!

Pats peak ! solo $100 , duo $130 ( 24 hr cats ) I know what Race I'm doing !!

$'s a BIG factor for me as well....guess I know which I will be attending too!!!

What are you planning on racing for '07?

What was the Pat's Peak course like?

Lots of climbing and mud as I recall...I didn't go this year, but that's what all the reports said.

I'd like to do Killington just becasue it's so close for me, but at that price forget it!! I might try to do Pat's Peak solo and then do Churn & Burn with the team again.

I hate to say its a lot of climbing !! but not as much mud as Ashford.

but look at it this way . do a 2 person co-ed 12 hour., that would garuentee you a podium , there was only one entree this year. Tell kevin and Racheal that could be interesting.

yup, PP it is!

PP is a short course
5 miles and under 40 minutes/lap in nasty conditions
you basically go up, and then come down..yup that means climbing is involved but the climbs are not bad - I actually liked the climbs being it meant you were out of the mud. And the last section of DH is so, so nice, smoth, twisty, fast...real good stuff!

note:last years mud ->they broke all sorts of records for most rain ever before the race

note2: plus there's options @ PP:24, 12 or 6 hour

 

[douglas]

note3: Pats Peak beat me bad 2 years in a row, not because I was out of shape or because of the climb, but it was the heat&humidity...I think I'm gonna start hydrating today

Of course ! that is the way Murphy works.

But makes you wonder, How Much will the Killington race suffer because of that !
