In the Northwest.
I really wish the black rock stuff was scheduled on days that don't have big NW events.

This weekend is the BR Flow Cup which is on the same day as the Fluidride cup in Whistler

The shuttle day is the same day as NW Cup finals in Port Angeles.

I hate to be a jerk, but it's only because I'd like to come ride there, as it is a really fun place to ride. Do you guys not have a schedule of other events in the area? Maybe the NW is large enough to have all of these events at the same time, but it'd be nice to be able to not have to choose which ones to attend.

Yeah I feel the same way too. I couldn't believe it when I found out the flow cup was the same weekend as the Whistler Fluidride Cup. And now the shuttle day conflicts with NW Cup finals?! Come on people! Sucks to miss both events.

Thanks for setting up the event and informing us of it. That said, I have to agree with the above statements about scheduling. I reaaaally wanted to make it this year, but based on the currently scheduled date, it doesn't look possible. Bummer. :(

Looks like I'm going to make it to this event after all, with a few buddies. Hope other Washingtonians will be making the long trek down there too!

Triple8, saw you posted on MTBR WA side, thanks... just an oversight there, we should have posted it there, too, besides the OR forum.

Should be a good time.

Already registered, Staying in Dallas hotel

We stopped there last year on our way up to Whistler
We got there late and it was hella hot, only managed to do two runs on pedal power
It's amazing what has been done with the place and thanks to the many builders and their efforts who continue to make it happen

Prolly riding somewhere in Bend on Fri

For everyone in my crew, it was our first time at Black Rock and first time shuttling too. What an amazing place! We all had a blast, and can't wait for another opportunity to shuttle there.

Per Louis@BRMBA, they are doing shuttles this weekend for those who aren't racing at $5 per shuttle.

http://brmba.org/index.php

THERE WILL BE LIMITED SHUTTLE SPOTS available both Saturday and Sunday (except during race hours). Shuttle riders will be able to purchase a $5 shuttle ticket which is good for ONE TRIP up on a shuttle truck. Racers will have priority loading but with 2 full sized trucks it should not be a long wait. Note that during the race the shuttle trucks will not run but will start up again after the race finishes and run until about 5:00 PM. PLEASE bring $5 bills if you plan to take advantage of a shuttle truck ride up. All shuttle riders must sign a waiver so if you are under 18 you WILL need a parent available to sign your waiver!

Check out the Flow Cup Racing Face book page just search for FlowCup Racing.

Heads up that this is CANCELLED, as of last week (9/14), because of fire restrictions from ODF (Oregon Dept of Forestry, BR is on state forest land).

FB page says they are meeting today (9/22/2011) to discuss a new date.

More Info
Sorry we weren't able to have the last one because the fire hazard was
too high and had to reschedule. Well, now here it is and it's on!!!

The shuttle days are scheduled for Saturday 8:30am - 3:30 pm and
Sunday 9:00 am - 3:30pm.
Prices are as follows: $55 for both days or $35 for each day. Anyone
who volunteers will be noted and we will be holding a seperate shuttle
day just for you :)

If you are interested in volunteering for the shuttle day, please
notify me at maryd@brmba.org and I will let you know what areas we
will need help with. So far, I need drivers (drivers need to email
richb@brmba.org), parking log attendants, guides at certain parts of
the trails, first aid people, mechanics, that would be awesome.

Thank you and hope to see everyone there!! :)
