Snowshoe Race #2: Who's going?

FCLinder · Jul 17, 2006

I plan on being there.

dhbuilder · Jul 17, 2006

as long as i don't have to pedal, i'll be fine.

i'll be hitting the rite-aid pharmacy on the right before you get there, to get a big bottle of geritol just in case.

High Gear will have 8-10 guys there (and one girl). Make sure you Windrock guys don't stop on top of every drop and cause backups. Also, no skidding. I hear you guys like to skid trenches.

there that's what i think you meant.

chris.
one of the things you'll notice as you get older, is that the synapses don't quite get the message to the fingers, before the fingers write out something you didn't mean.

look forward to seeing all you guys and girl this weekend.
(now it's up to you to figure out if all my synapses were firing as i typed that last part.

Brady's going. I'll be down in Albany participating in The Greatest Sport on Earth(tm).

i'll be sittin OFF THE RACE LINE waitin on a pick up truck to take me to the top of it. :eviltongu

JeffD · Jul 17, 2006

Haha, good one. You've got the trash talking skills to make it in 20" racing. All you need to work on is power. And jumping skills. And I don't think the state parks the tracks are usually in take kindly to guys packing sidearms. And...Aw hell, just keep your old ass on the mountain.

:evil:

Guard · Jul 17, 2006

We got 6-7 in our group coming up...even though its a pain cleaning up the bikes afterwards and kills the trails, if it does rain I hope its like Sunday morning at the last race (the cancelled race). That was so much fun and fast...hated riding in the rain until then...just follow the stream down the course

LOOnatic · Jul 17, 2006

Have fun ya'll

J.R.
you know better than i, that if it's a snowshoe race then it's gonna rain.
if that state ever suffers from a severe drought, all they have to do is call up and say,"schedule a race boys. the crops are drying out."
and bingo.....floods.

besides.
ben says he's never been there when it's dry.
and he's going.

Bearmntpicnic · Jul 19, 2006

its not going to rain

SpaZwEll · Jul 19, 2006

Won't be able to make this one. But, I did get my pins out today.

So, I'll be ready for next two. :thumb:

ChrisKring · Jul 19, 2006

If it rains and the race course sucks, I'll be riding the sport course all day. That run is a blast even in the rain since it is so well wore in that it doesn't turn to peanut butter mud. Anyone up for a chinese downhill?

No worries, that Jiffy Extra Creamy is gone from the Expert course.
Its fun as hell wet or dry now. The course actually stays hard on most parts now even when soaked. But yeah, that Sport course is incredible either way.

Hah!

Little do you know.

FCLinder · Jul 20, 2006

Well I thought I was going. Guess not now. I just don't want to front up the $160 in gas to drive up there by myself. I couldn't find anyone to buddy up with on the drive. My wife just made me realize last night it didn't make any sense to spend the $$, even though I wanted to race really bad. I will be there for the 3rd race. You guys have fun.

Are we going to run the same course or something new?

Jeremy,
Isn't that the same forecast as the last race?

ride.snowshoemtn.com said that they have completed the new course and it's been run in. Don't know if that means new section or entire course?? They have a couple pics up and they look it's near the top after the first road we cross, but before we go back in the woods with all the rock drops.

Were leaving at 4 today. Anyone else gonna be there to ride tomorrow?

Thank sir, by the way what breed of dog is that in your avatar?

That's my man!! It's a black lab - hard to tell in the pic because he is airborne catching a ball.

jonnynails · Jul 20, 2006

spoke80 said:
Dogs are cool! Are you going this weekend?

Yep, leaving in about 5 hours so I can get some runs in tomorrow. Since I was at the last race i think i get a free lift ticket and my entry fee into this one is covered. You still going?

jonnynails · Jul 20, 2006

Oh yeah. Look for me Saturday (Giant Glory) and we can shred.

Sounds good, I'll look you up Saturday - I'm on a Morewood
