I'll be shooting for middle of the pack sport men again

I'm going for finishing the course again! And I'm also going to be a heckler.
Woot for finishing!
Heck, I'm not only going to try and finish I'm going to try and finish without crashing!

Yeah its on Sunday. Thats when they normally are, but I think they added another race day to their series and they already had a XC race on Sunday.
Update on the course by the way:

Sounds like I'm going to be missing another "pedaly" course.
I'm fine with that... Having only one bike makes riding the "pedaly" courses hurt.
Tahoe, here I come!
Good luck and a safe ride to all those who will be out racing! Enjoy the weather!

Shouldn't one be pedalling one's butt off on ANY dh course they race?
yes, they should be
Stop being pansies you guys. This stuff is prime training for Sea Otter.
Hey peep's... I'm a freerider (and AM trailrider and urban rider) from Seattle... I went to Cal Maritime in Vallejo so I sort of know the Bay Area...
anyway I'm planning a road trip in April that will take me to some places in WA, OR, NV, and UT...
so what's CCCX like? is this a shuttleable place?... Is this the place out towards Antioch? Mt Diablo? Marin?...
When I lived in Vallejo I wasn't a freerider yet so I only got to trailride out in Marin...
is CCCX an unsanctioned trail?... if it is please just Pm me the where abouts or not and don't post it...
(we have a lot of unsanctioned trails up here in West WA... so I know how that stuff goes...)
thanks

No its not an unsanctioned trail. Its a race series which I think can be learned more about at www.cccx.org. (Hopefully that works)
The races are in Salinas, in Toro Park. Definitely not shuttleable. You have to hike about 30 min to an hour to get to the top of the courses, and they don't really warrant a true DH bike.
Hope that straightens it out.
I did a 6:20.
I dont want to talk about it...

It's ok Josh, we still like you.
Something about a crazy hill at the end huh?
I pulled a 6:13. At the finish, my lungs would have crawled up my throat, called me an idiot and beat my a$$, but they were too tired.
I think I need to get off the couch more.

I just checked the results and I ened up getting 10th of 17. So I guess I wasnt the only one who pretty much died on the course.
Heh, two crashes and an intimate meeting between my yam bag and the top tube gave me an ass time. Ah well, it was fun and I had a particularly good crash (that I really hope someone got a pick of).
Next month I'll try to go back to my 'no crashing during the race' idea.

This is the course that they should hold the Sea Otter Super D at. this is a perfect Super D course....
I was there taking photographs. Hopefully I'll be able to get the photos online tonight. I think I got about 130 keepers so I'll post a thread with the info.
Hope you got one of me (308). Your pictures are sick!
dont even get me started on results for that race. I think there was only one male with a time worse than mine and he was a clydesdale, the other worse times were JR girls.
I am still recovering emotionally

I'm working on converting the RAW files right now, so in about 1 hour there will be about 100 images.

'cept due to some technical difficulties I showed up a bit before noon. Stupid daylight savings and slimline cell phone batteries (and lack of will power).
