cool, glad to see that there should be a class for us. There are a couple of us SS'ers coming down from up here in central Arkansas, so maybe we will have a good class. I hadnt even planned on coming down this year because I havent had time this summer to do much riding, yet alone race, but I ended up racing last weekend and actually did pretty good (got 3rd) so now I am all pumped up to race, too bad the season is about over.. introduce yourself to me if you see me, I will be the guy on the Sofa King painted like an american flag, cant miss me...

Doesn't look bad... however be prepared for wet/muddy conditions and for cool weather even if the forecast is otherwise...

Ya from what I could tell Ira was hauling some a$$ as always, just wish I could say the same about myself, not exactly on the top of my game at the moment. Another guy that came down with us took second in the Expert master 30-34 class.Some of you Arkansas boys are pretty fast.
I ended up 8th... of 10. Not a good number, but considering the field. It was fast.Originally posted by ARmtnBIKER
It was good to meet you and Toni also, how did he end up doing? Just have to say I was glad to see that you dont look like your avatar You rode good, on a couple of those down hill sections with all the roots I was watching you bounce all over the place and I was sooo glad that I had my Sid on my bike, not a real good rigid course. I can imagine you are pretty sore, I know I would of been if I would of brought my rigid bike, heck I am anyway, my back was killing me yesterday evening and into the night. Just havent been riding very much and that was tough...
Word is (I have not crunched the numbers) that Ira had the fastest Sport time. But I don't believe that SS is a disadvantage on most courses.Originally posted by ARmtnBIKER

The San Antonio Texas race is in February, it is usually a big party.Originally posted by ARmtnBIKER
I hope to make it down to SA in August this year, if so I will let you know, maybe we can hook up and do some riding...
I feel your pain man, I had the exact same story except it was my lower back instead of my pelvis! When I dropped out I was in dead last, never ever never have I been that far back, really sucked!My race was bad. I felt bad, my pelvis hurt, i wanted to puke (but couldnt) and i was NEVER able to get into a good rythem.
I'm all about kickin back, drinkin a cold one and shootin the shiet! NEXT TIMEnext time hopefully we can hang out and drink some beer and stuff
Thats what I have on my bike, Sid Team with remote, works sweet, although the climbs on that course are so short and its usually so rooty and technical going through the dips getting to the climbs that I didnt even use it but maybe 3 or 4 times yesterday... I will agree, that was one fast SS class, not sure I have ever been in a race where we took off so fast, I blew a gasket before we ever got onto the single track!An ideal shock would have been one with the remote lockout.

yea that's weird. when greg didnt pass me i figured something had happened to him. then towards then end of my second lap him and the other bike lane dude finally passed. They look strong but i new there wasnt enough time for them to gap back up.Originally posted by Bike Mojo
That is what we do. Greg Harrah (Black IF) was running as we got into the singletrack, I was 4th behind him, then on the first fire road and he sprinted to move into second.
And he stayed there for a while, I thought he was working your buddy over because Greg is pretty fast.
But it turns out he was just trying to hang, and in the end he blew up and finished 4th.
