So, who's going to the mayhem of Southridge? I'll be there...racing my buddy's Chumba until my new frame arrives and I have CR1 dial in my suspension.
Southridge Annual Race
- Thread starter 5150dhbiker
- Start date
A contingency of SD is rolling up.
Are you racing?
Indeed. Intentions are to run Super D and DH.
Nice. I may not make this coming weekend but plan on racing the Winter Series.
I'm no racing fanatic, but if this race is run well then I'll probably be out for the Winter Series, too.
uh oh, does sam hill know this yet?
i was planning on racing but i have crippled my self and i cant. im not even gonna be able to spectate but i will be at the winter series cheering everyone on!
Sounds like my wife wants to do the DH, Last time she raced fontucky was 1999. See you all there.
Ill be there. Just something about racing at Fontana that has a certain appeal to it. Just cant get enough of those blown out, loose, sandy off camber corners with no flow.
Oh wait, maybe its the beer pre/post run that makes it so fun.
Will be missing you out here TJ, Looks like everyone will be having fun without you
For the guys that are not to into racing, Fontana really is just different than other racing. Its just a plain out good time.

Exactly! I hate that town and don't really like the courses but for some reason, I LOVE racing there! I just always have a really fun time whenever I'm there.

Bringing tons of random stuff out to Fontana on Sunday to sell...don't want to bring any of it home!!
No reasonable offers refused!!
I know this isn't the "for sale" forum, but this is how I thought I'd let So Cal people know there's gonna be some stuff for sale tomorrow.
THANKS!

Bright orange Blindside, with a 66 on the front of it.
Hey Stik,
I was the kid on the v10 with Pat on Friday. Any chance you got a shot of me?
Thanks,
Ryan
I have no idea what a blindside is, but I will remember 'orange' and 66.
Thanks for the photo man. It came out really good.Hey Ryan
good luck today...and get some pads!
Bummer about Leigh's flat. She egged me on to pedal while she was walking. I sat and coasted to a 6th in Vet Pro (cramps).
I personally think that is the BEST race course I've ever seen in Fontana!
Coasted the top on my race run a little too much and then had every spoke come loose on my rear wheel right when the wall started. The back end was sliding back and fourth while I was trying to pedal! HAHAHA, it was too fun! There's now about 5in of play in the wheel. Oh well, still pulled off 16th in Pro and am sorta happy with that :~

Looks alot like this
Black Helmet, black and white jersey now
Good times to be had today, somehow I managed to wash as I left the start gate...... Friggin pssed me off. Donny was cool enought o give me a mulligan, took off, completed my run with one very bent brake lever, got stuck behind a slower rider from the saddle to the road, probably cost me a good 15 seconds of time. Fractured my left thumb, refractured the radial distal in my left wrist yet again. You would think by now I would be smart enought o not stick my effing hand out when I wash.
5150, I agree, this was by far the funnest Fontana course yet. Limited pedalling, great speed, just an overall good time
Sucks, I think thats about her 7th flat in 16yrs of racing. She would have killed it, she was riding wicked....sh1ttiest part is I did not get a pic of her race run! haha.Bummer about Leigh's flat. She egged me on to pedal while she was walking. I sat and coasted to a 6th in Vet Pro (cramps).
Go stretch and eat a banana Orvan! (cramps)

Hahaha, I had 3 semi-ripe bananas. Graves disease is buggin me (muscle fatgiue and irregular heartbeat). It would have been cool to have someone jam with Maxine in the pro women. Did u snap pics of the C class? Dudes after the pro women? I was 4th rider behind ur misus.
nah, i got all suicidal when she came down with flat and packed it up
sorry man..
she wants to make a bit of a comeback, so I will be around more shooting pics, we just need to know the schedule for next DH event.
Intentions never quite panned out:Indeed. Intentions are to run Super D and DH.
The fork on my hardtail decided to blow-up the morning of Super D. Bummer. Adding some additional stresses like forgetting the freshly charged camera battery at home, rolling my rear tire off the rim due to a failed bead, trying to find new tires (Thanks to Barry for the tip and Donnie for the hook-up), then working on my bike in the hotel room without proper tools...I wasn't quite sure how the weekend was going to work out.
The extra DH practice must have paid off: Despite making a gross error at the bottom of the course, I still made it to the podium (2nd) in 27-35 Sport.
All in all, I had a great experience for my first DH race and will be out for the Winter Series.
good job, Andrew! it looks like a couple of us will be doing the winter series, hopefully Donny keeps up with the new tracks.
it's going to be great to have leigh around. Hopefully mellissa buhl and claire kovarik will come out to the winter series. It will be great for womens racing. Seeing Leigh in the gate last weekend was awesome! She coached me in 2002.
She is unbeleivable in her aproach to racing, she will kick some ass if she does world cups. Can't wait to see her race again.

It'd be nice to see YOU on a comeback as well. You always rip.
dude consider having a radioiodine treatment. I did in May and have been a bit more functional
just gotta take a pill every day tho
