Hippo CX 2018

Well, I actually signed up cat 5. First race since last year and only managed 2 races last year, so... Will be happy to just finish without coughing up a lung !

Coughing up a lung is pretty much the same as puking. This is actually a sign of a successful race.

lots of down hill turns, in the mud. a few hundred feet of single track. a 200 meter climb leading up to a run up (un rideable for humans) barriers of course. and the wooden run up from last year had been layed to rest and replaced a few bmx style speed rollers.

Mixing imperial with metric, love it. How many fathoms deep will the mud be? Also, how many fortnights are estimated for each lap?

my day just got rescheduled for me. there wasn't supposed to be any kid events - and now there is, and i drive the truck (literally, it is a 40' box truck with all the band equipment)
I may show up for the beer tho!

this is killing me...damn. So impressed with how it was put together last year as an event, not just a race. was looking forward to the expanded version!

In it.
It’s on the way to PA so figured I’d do this (and Troegs) before unPAved on Sunday.

So should I wear one of those orange life jackets or the self inflating kind for the 830 cat 5 start that's probably more aerodynamic??

 

[Patrick]

I might be back in. On a mtb.

 

[Chris(NJ)]

Might be a good idea! More rain coming down now. Gonna be wet out there today
