Snowshoe is always a blast. Nice to see good times given credit instead of only pointing out when something goes wrong, as seems to be the trend.
I really feel like crap for missing so much riding this summer. Gonna make it up there at least once.

Yes and I have to make it back. Last time down I seperated my shoulder at the last NORBA National. Good times, I still remember those meds.......AWESOME.
it was a great weekend, really wish i had been able to ride. should have registered anyways just for the shirt! lol
Ok so I know this is petty **** and I have nothing to complain about the races since they are always so much fun. but whats with not having any prizes for any of the intro, ww, amateur classes.
to quote snowshoes website on the race section
"More Classes and more Categories for 2010 will mean more prizes and more chances to win!"
are they holding out for the series winners or something? I feel like with all the sponsors they list they should be able to get something out of their sponsors to give prizes away. even if its just like some socks and a tube or something. It just seems kind of lame that no one on the podium gets anything. Even all the small mountain local races i've been to this year have had pretty good prizes for everyone and in the past I know snowshoe has always had lots of good stuff to give away.

yeah but how was the course taping?
No one got lost that I know of.
And a burger.
Or beer!!And a burger.
Definitely an awesome weekend!!
As far as prizes go... They gave out prizes last year (lift tickets, fox hats/whatever), but no plaques/medals. This year it's plaques/medals and no swag. Not gonna lie, it does suck a bit knowing that you could go to other races that are closer/cheaper, and get both.
Speaking of beer...
The only "downside" was that the WV State Police were running a sobriety checkpoint along Snowshoe Drive outside the village Saturday night. So if you go up there don't drink and drive. Don't even putt.

**** yeah I remember seeing a sheriffs suv at the top after watching the movie at night and I was wandering what was goin on cause I don't ever see cops up there.
Are they doing the racer lunch this year? If so that's f'n great!!And a burger.
I always do my race run w/ a kozie (sp?) stuffed in my short pocket for the after race beers.....while on the track and getting towards the bottom I'm always thinking just a few more turns then its cold beer.
Plaques/medals are fine w/ me, who doesn't have enough mtb junk sitting on their shelves. As far as I'm concerned the SS guys always do an excellent job......btw the course is always tapped...

Why I mentioned it. There seems to have been a shift in Public Safety's enforcement abilities this summer which has allowed or required the local and state police to increase their presence up there. Just park your car and leave it for the weekend and ride your bike or crawl back to the condo after Village Bad (tm).
Unfortunately this may hurt the lodging business at the bottom.
