Campus rec at ETSU called today and wanted to know if we are having a race in May. I told him I did not know, because there are a few problems:

1. There are not enough people in the ETSU club that do not race DH or slalom, so volunteers are tight.
2. NORBA charges a $100 late fee for races registered <6 weeks prior.
3. Origionally, there was a race at Wolf scheduled that week-end (or was it).
4. DH would be a lame a$$ ETSU course, and no promoting has been done.
5. I really don't want to put in the effort.
6. We probably won't get started on a new slalom course until late summer.

My mind is that we put off a race here until late summer and use the Buffalo Mountain course. This will give me plenty of time to come up with at least two options for shuttling.

If someone wants to step up, I will make the arrangements with campus, but if an profits are made they will have to go to the ETSU Cycling Club.

I think everybody who raced in '02 will agree that it's worth the wait to get another crack at the Buffalo Mountain course :thumb:

Yeah, I'll race Buffalo even if Terry has to push my bike to the top.

How about we schedule a 4X race at the morristown track. Doug and I talked to the track commanders and their down. Plus, I don't think we need no stinking norba!

I like the idea of clumping our races in the spring, summer, or fall. Not spreading them out from May until September. I've heard talk of a fall Windrock race. I like the idea of a Fall Windrock, ETSU, and possibly Morristown 4X series.

I will race the course on campus, I will race the course at Buffalo.
Just let me know the date, and what time I need to show.

Poet. ;)

Yeah, Buffalo would be a blast.
I would like to have it as soon as possible, but I understand the problems.
This would be a great time for us to get together, hand out fliers and all that.
The stuff that we say we are going to do every year, to get more racers out.
Racing Buffalo this year would be a great course to show newbies how fun this Dh thing is.

I'll wear diapers this time on the shuttle...incase I shat myself again...

Shoo, I'll have my little 4x4 to sally me forth. I will walk up that hill before I get into another U-haul of death. I should have one empty slot in the back of my truck (me and dougykins) and the bidding will start now.

Yeah there will not be any 30'+ U-hauls this year, and no English professors for drivers.

I am down for focusing on a late summer/ fall series! My late year focus is Mammoth anyway, so a series to prepare for that would be great. I will be at M'town for a 4X race, I will be anywhere to get some racing in.

B, sorry I missed out this past weekend, but I sparined my wrist in the weight room (don't ask). Is the premeire this weekend?

My suggestion would be to by an altitude chamber right now. The thin air killed me last year. :nopity:
