2017 MTB Racing

[Steve Vai]

Admittedly I haven't read the entire rule book yet, but wonder if a kid like that could "cat up". Not sure. Is he involved?

He's registered.

 

[MadisonDan]

He's registered.

 

[Steve Vai]

We're registered as Independent though so he hasn't been on any of the Chapter rides.

Im very sad to hear the news that there will be no Rumble in the Jungle this year

Wtf why?
Dark horse also hinting at bringing dh40 back,. How does that play out with our race.

 

[JDurk]

Oh man, all this racing talk is making me want to jump in to MTB racing next year! Where do I start?!

Do it!

 

[JDurk]

As a long time MASS participant and race promoter, I'd highly recommend trying to squeeze in some of the events on the schedule after the 6/11/17 date mentioned in your original post.

 

[hotsauce]

Do it!

Who wants to buy two aging road bikes so I can make room for a MTB? Another bike is a hard sell on the homefront when the storage unit is overflowing with dusty bikes. This "N+1" garbage just gives me "#DIV/0!" when I put it into Excel.

6/17 was as far as BikeReg had info for. Have all this in excel, and will add as more dates pop up.

I'd say the price of entry to MTB can be pretty cheap. A used aluminum hardtail with suspension fork can be built for 700 ish. Would also be reasonably light.

I can't think of a single good reason why @hotsauce isnt going to race.

Valid points yall!

Life is getting complicated the next few months: big test for work early March then looking for a new apartment with more space for bikes shortly thereafter. I really want to be out there but real life is happening and I can't push it off any longer. I'll give it 50/50 odds at this point.

Why?

Never mind. Read the post about no permit issued. Damn
