- Thread starter 66
- Start date
Ill be there. never been to a national, dunno what to expect. how is it different from the run of the mill wim race?
I've never raced a national but I did ride the course last thursday for a couple runs. Lets just say the WIM races (aside from schwietzer) are the burt gilman and schwietzer is exit27. huge difference.
I didnt race laast year (and am not racing this year), but i remember for the Nat they split the age group up.... 19-24 & 25-29, thats for the naional part, the WIM part will still have the standard age group im sure.
Good luck man, youve been doing real good this season.

Ill be there racing with a bunch of other 24-29 experts.....Last year the sport was really small...but who knows....should be fun either way
I don't think they start splitting the groups into 5 years lots until 30+ years....but i could be wrong. I think it's 19-29, 30-34, 35-40, ect...
i was in the 19-24 expert category last year and i think i registered for the same thingPsychO!1 said:

For DH, practice and race times are set up differently. Everyone doesn't practice together or race on the same day. Normally Beginner-Expert practice is Thurs thru Sat and then race Sat. Semi/Pro practice is Fri-Sun and race Sun. The also designate practice times for different categories so Semi/Pros all practice together, Experts all practice together, etc. And I heard rumors last year that they were going to try and have a completely seperate Sport/Beginner course instead of intermingling the two.
The XC races are split up on different days as well....not sure what they do about practice though.
Nationals are definitely a good time!!! I'm bummed I can't make it to Schweitzer this year. That course beat the crap out of me last year and I was planning on getting my revenge :mumble: Figures that we'd move out here to the East Coast after the two EC nationals and before Schweitzer!!!!
I was 4th last year in 19-29 sport...but had two crashs...well see what happens this year 
got a real bike now!
