[black noise]

me 345

 

[PatBranch]

What does 345 mean? Everyone is saying random numbers in their posts these days. I'm pretty sure I can go.

 

[black noise]

Dude, you have 5000 posts and you don't know? Here it is: you must have 5 characters in your post for it to be able to post. Therefore "me" is only 2 and doesnt work, so I put "345" in so it let me post.

Anyway, you should go. Fun course. Well organized.

 

[PatBranch]

ohhhhh

I really want to go. I'm pretty sure I can.

 

[bdamschen]

Going with a buddy and my g/f. It'll be her first race.

 

[beaverbiker]

i'll be there

 

[Heath Sherratt]

I will probably be there with my wife doing her first DH race!! WOO-HOO! Beavers-you can teach me how to go faster...please.

 

[stratguy1618]

I shall be out there with Super pro hucker Andrew Taylor and my girlfriend will be racing for her billionth time

wear a skinsuit

 

[bdamschen]

Great, now everyone who reads this thread is going to show up in tight clothes......


....so to be competitive I'm going to have to also...



Now I'm going to have to start a new thread "Skinsuit sizing"

 

[beaverbiker]

skinsuits are better when they don't fit

 

[bdamschen]

Good. I was starting to worry who I was going to find to measure my inseam.

 

[chicodude]

Hahahaha.....The only one that is clost to me is the one in weaverville and I'll be in socal on those dates.....I think this is gods way of telling me not to race.

 

[Heath Sherratt]

skinsuits are better when they don't fit

It feels more like foreskin that way...

 

[thePINKster]

i should be out there, as stratguy says.........


and dont forget the sandhill series on your CA race schedule
sandhillracing.com

 

[PatBranch]

Thanks. I should look at that.

Unfortunately I won't be out there because I can't find a ride up. I will be at the next ones though.

 

[thePINKster]

scratch that..

parents won't let me go..... they'd rather me go to church

 

[bdamschen]

looks like there's supposed to be even more pedaling than last time.

 

[PatBranch]

parents won't let me go..... they'd rather me go to church

That sucks.... Maybe you can go to the next one.

 

[thePINKster]

doubt it.. they're STRICT mormons... i couldnt be any more different

 

[bjanga]

%#&$*^@ religion

 

[stratguy1618]

hahah werdddddd

 

[stratguy1618]

%#&$*^@ religion

i concur, too much **** to worry about

 

[matt12]

I will be there either on a Turner DHR or an Iron Horse Hollowpoint MTX.

 

[SPrider]

i will be there on my specialized sx, its all about the xc helmet and goggles, should be a good time..

 

[bikenweed]

I'll be there. Does anyone who lives close by have space for my broke ass to crash?

 

[bdamschen]

Shoot, bike-

I read this one a little too late. Next time you're racing in monterey drop me a PM, i've got pretty much the most comfortable couch in the world to crash on.

 

[NapalmCheese]

And a wierd buffalo fetish...

 

[bdamschen]

Yeah, but you can't argue w/ the couch. Pick a new rim yet?

 

[Heath Sherratt]

New race is supposed to be steeper and more DH friendly...anybody got the scoop? Prophet or Judge?










I know, I know, Prophet but I don't think my new frame will be here in time.

 

[PatBranch]

I'm bringing my bullit which is all I have. Who else is going?

 

[matt12]

I'll be there. Riding my Hollowpoint MTX.

 

[bdamschen]

I'll be there with my faith, only working bike i've got lately.
This time I'll try not to flat on one of the three possible places to flat on the course.

 

[PatBranch]

Are there thorns? Because I HATE thorns..

 

[bdamschen]

No thorns. The last course there were like 2 big rocks and 1 root on the whole course that could give you a flat if you hit them wrong.

I found the root.

 

[Total Heckler]

I'm going to be there. Woohoo! First race back since breaking my shoulder.

 

[NapalmCheese]

The plan this time is to have tacos after the race, not during.

 

[PatBranch]

It was fun. I geuss I missed all you (see you at the next race).

The climb was so tiring. I couldn't ride up any of the acsent on practice because my drivetrain was screwed up. Before the race run, i had a bike shop adjust my der., so I was able to ride up a third to half the climb which made it a little easier. The heat didn't help either...

It was a really fun course. I got 6/12 in beginner. I heard the next race will be on the top of the hill behind the start. One guy said 10min runs.

 

[matt12]

The race was super fun. I loved the course minus that one hill you talked about.
