I wanna try and take a trip to windrock before the 20th race to get a feel for the place, anyone wanna go, i like around lexington, ky
Definitely recommended to go ride and learn it. Snakerock, which used to be the warm up trail, is even worth learning in advance these days.
Anyone wanna try a trip to windrock before the 20th?
Bump! View attachment 112818
will there people anyone running a shuttle down there on saturday the 19th?
very likely.
We have a group planning on being there both Saturday and Sunday and I am sure he will bring the trailer for bikes as normal.

I keep hearing the words "rock slides" on the local news...... anyone know how I-40 is west of Asheville into TN?
Thinking about doing the race runs in my kayak
As of now I-40 is clear to the TN state line, although there will be some snow in that area tomorrow and tomorrow night. It should be mostly clear by the time you roll thru Fri night though.

The related news you are hearing about is US 441 which is in eastern TN thru Cherokee, NC. There was a landslide there today. The road is maintained by the US Park service and won't be open for awhile.

This just in. I have been awarded shotgun in a vehicle with a friend who's never been there. I told him to bring his insurance card.

Did you tell him about your blood sacrifice in the parking lot
Was his suspension setup on the WBD? If so, he will be fine!
Don't get itDid you tell him about your blood sacrifice in the parking lot
If you're talking about my "bruise/twin", no blood was spilled outside my body.Not that guy. Did we even let him know about this weekend?
It's Matt Purcell. Rides a Specialized SX...and yes, he can flat out handle himself . He rides with Gerrit a bit.
Wish I could make this one...gonna be cold out there though.
Great race! Trail conditions were near perfect!
Just a teaser from the weekend.
A few random shots. Great weather-Great race!
I want to thank everyone for coming out, it was great seeing so many new people out there for their first time as well as people stepping up to race for the first time. We had great weather a tremendous amount of cooperation from everyone involved. I want to personally thank Billy goat bikes in Asheville for coming and helping out, cane creek for helping a racer in need who snapped his frame in practice, Red house bikes for being there in spirit, and Clealan/Team gutbomb for hauling us up and down that hill all day. This race could not have happened without the volunteer efforts the day of, with shuttle driving, timing, and just generally raising the stoke level. I will have full results either later tonight or first thing in the morning, race flyer for #2 coming soon!
Alex, It's more important that we THANK YOU.
Let me know as soon as the results are online, I want to include that in the race report. Thank you sir.

Good job on the weekend Alex, i know that you were putting in a lot of hours pulling it all together, it was well planned and i looked forward to the next one.
I talked to a lot of first timers and the general consensus was "Windrock Rocks".
Thanks to the Colonel and Phil for the use of the truck and the trailer

Two things:
1. Matt Purcell's car gave up the tranny trying to haul he & I to the rock and we were both bummed to miss.
2. Why are Alex and the Colonel not being hoisted upon those shoulders like Vince Lombardi?

Alex, you did a great job. Thanks for all the work.
Butch, I think you may be close to me in the luck category.

Wait...just got told JD Swanguem was there hiding out and won. 
Man, that's a long way from home and frickin' cool as heck.
Man, that's a long way from home and frickin' cool as heck.JD has actually been living in Columbia KY since the fall going to school at Lindsey Wilson College. He also races for the cycling team of course. And on top of that he won the national DH Collegiate title back in october. My name is Josh Patton and I am on the team as well. And I have to say it's awesome that he is here. Really is helping me as well as others in our racing.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Josh, I had no idea who he was until Alex said his last name at the awards and he even introduced himself to me out on the course when you guys were doing your filming thing (of course he didn't say his last name when he did). Glad you guys could make it.
