I'm a strong maybe, if not 70% I'm out, don't want to hold you guys back.

Yeah Walt don't worry about being slow, we are going to take it very easy, with lots of stops and some playing in sections if anyone wants to try more than once.

 

[Kangdoy]

Oh and hopefully there will still be berries left



A little taste of the trails

Really hoping that's a downhill section...(>_<)

The route we will take that will be the second to the last rock garden. And it is downhill. Won't be that way for all of them tho!

Have fun, i'm so bummed i'm missing this.

Doubtful. Got over the first rock today in my 2 attempts but couldn't jog to the right to keep going.

In Sounds like fun to me!☺

 

[qclabrat]

hey Frank, how'd you fair against your race nemesis?

 

[Mtbdog]

@qclabrat Passed him on the first climb, it was fubar city on the first climb, people pushing everywhere. I managed to clean the climb, I don't think Steve saw me so I pushed myself hard to the wall climb, h.a.b.up that one. Only trouble after that was a hike half of the last big climb on white before switchbacks, lost time there making me a little nervous,but on the gravel road towards the finish I looked back to see no one. Cruised across the wet grass thankfully no drag race needed. Finished 9th overall. Had a great time on a less then stellar day!☺

great job again Frank, you've inspired me to start racing next year, see you at the CAT2 starting line

 

[Mtbdog]

Whoa with CAT2 ! Let's try to podium in CAT3 first! Love to see your interested! You can book it!☺

 

[Mtbdog]

@qclabrat will you be doing Sourlands Saturday? See you there if so!

 

[Paul H]

Now I am seen it all.... CAT2 being discussed on a OOS thread lol

I'm about the dollar and cent in it all. 2 laps for the same price of one...
Actually isn't there a 55+ for CAT2? or is it Open?

 

[Mtbdog]

Open Men 55+ is Cat 1/2/3. I like the idea of 2 also,am contemplating doing it at Port Jervis. Wanna do it,if you do I will also!☺

 

[Mtbdog]

Food for thought, the stats from last year 4.93 miles with 403ft of elevation. On another note I recently read a review of the Jeffsy and boy does that have our area in it's target zone, nice call awhile back!

I'll be gone for 3 weeks vacation starting late next week.

 

[A Potted Plant]

How many miles will we be doing?

 

[Mtbdog]

It sounds to me like it's not the quantity of miles but the quality of the tech here.

 

[rick81721]

How many miles will we be doing?

I'll have more because I'll be riding there and back from home, but at the park, I'd say between 6 and 8 miles, with about 600 - 800 ft of climbing.

 

[Magic]

It sounds to me like it's not the quantity of miles, but the amount of time it takes to walk a bike for those 8 miles.

Fixed this for you.
