I'm trying to get a handle on who is going, and who is staying over Sat. night after the race. I am not racing, but I may be in the area to ride some other trails and attend the cookout if there is one on Saturday. If enough people are staying, and there is a get together, I may even bring my Big Screens to do some MTB film screenings at said get together. (After I pass it by Massanutten of course)

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it Friday night due to work lthumbsdown:

 

[Dartman]

Sorry Mike but the cookout is Friday evening after practice.

 

[BAXTER]

I'll be riding the course on Friday but not Sat. I'll be riding early Sat. (before 9AM) on the western side and in the forest in the afternoon. The later ride will be significantly longer (3 to 5 hours) depending on who is slowing us down:biggrin:. No shuttles but WELL worth it. Bring some food and I'll bring the mental help. Big, long descents (most of it single track.) Only fire roads will be on the way out. Last trail is all down. You in Hamberger?

 

[McGRP01]

The Elevate crew will be there Thurs. and Fri. nights at the hotel, but we're heading back to NY on Sat. after the race.

I plan on coming on Friday and camping out on the slope (I assume thats allowed). I won't be riding because I'm still recovering from a broken hand (get the cast off 5 days after Massanutten). My brother is also coming and riding the beginner class. I'll be coaching him and doing some photos.

 

[corey_rideDC]

i'll be pulling in late friday, sleepin on the slope.

 

[SK6]

There early Friday....leaving Saturday.....

Standard cookout everyone?

 

[Mr Ridiculous]

Count me in.

 

[Mr Ridiculous]

Also, would anybody happen to have some space on a floor/couch for Friday night? Might be heading up by myself and my college student status generally limits how much money I have for a room, gas, etc. Thanks in advance!

SK6 can we hook a brother up?

 

[SpasticJack]

Prolly heading up Thurs night if the race rate applies. Nothing like a leisurely start to practice on Fri.

 

[weylessrider67]

Leaving Hickory, NC Friday morning by 6 oclock, and plan on practicing all day Friday. Then camping Friday and Saturday night.

[Jim Mac]

Can't wait! Just got literally pummelled by the Jr. X World Champs course at Platty yesterday - looking forward to a fun and fast course at Massanutten!

And can anyone dispell this story I heard this past weekend: Rumor is that practice will only be 12-5 on Friday, as Shaums March is doing his school 9-12 exclusively on the course???

 

[SK6]

200+ riders against Shaums???I think we can take 'em! LOL!

I sure hope thats not true.

 

[ridiculous]

Im in, will be at the hotel. Hopefully I can find Shaums I need to buy him a drink.

Practice has always been from 12 to 5 at Massa on Friday.

Now why you gotta give it away???

 

[Jim Mac]

Derrrr on my part! After I posted it, I re-read the Mass info. Guess I'm just used to the whole 8:30-4 practice kind of thing like we have up here!

Yeah, I hear ya, it actually works out well at Massa though, because there is only one trail to ride, and you get five hours on it on Friday.

My husband, Dog and I are coming from CT for our first East Coast DH race ever. Had reserved the $60 a night hotel but found out last night (to call and confirm about pets allowed or not) that they don't allow dogs! So we may be camping.

So the question is....In Colorado people are cool about you leaving your dog tied or crated near your car / on site campsite or whatever. How is the scene here about that? She's a lot happier to come with us and chill while we ride then to stay at a kennel.

It varies from Mt. to Mt.. Mt. Snow in VT. for example does not allow dogs at all (any more) and will disqualify a racer if there's an "issue". Best to check with the promoter perhaps?

 

[SpasticJack]

I've heard in the past that Massanutten is dog-tolerant as far as camping goes but they definitely don't want them running off-leash. Best to call and get the low-down.

Lets hope that the wet sunshine stays away
