I'm probably gonna be able to do the expert only. The second sport race starts right as the beginner one ends.
Let the fun begin....
Reg'd for ST #1 and the H2H Season Pass.

Are you doing beginner or sport? Did you want to do both? You can if you like.

I signed up for beginner. I'm starting from scratch. Oh sorry I saw what you meant. I'm doing beginner race but sport is right after so expert will probably be the only one I can video .. but maybe I can catch some of the sport also. Won't take me too long to get changed.
If it's raining all bets are off.

All good, I see what you mean. Ok well I look forward to seeing how this all goes. How about snow?

No snow either. Its not water resistant. I won't be there if it's precipitating at all.
been there done that: screw that. The race is for training for hell of Hunterdon. I was a fool. Convinced to sign up and regretting it dearly. I'm 50 pounds heavier then when I actually looked good on a bike

you have a month until hoh,
every day counts.
race in the rain, that is badass.
and it could rain for HOH, so that is like-condition training. (although 30 minutes vs 5 hours, we'll count it.)
if no drone, shoot some action video. Nice to have a someone that does it for a living, and knows how to edit.

So, in all seriousness, will I die if I do this on a SS? I've ridden it a total of 4.5 miles. On the road.

Thank you.
More than likely because fire drone.

I almost considered the same and was fine being DFL
The course profile looks like a constant loop of punchy climbs, no way I'll not die, getting chest pains thinking about it. I'm going with gears

Ugh maybe I'll stick to the drone.
My first ride on a SS was this race last year.
A 32lb. Steel 27.5 + SS.
You'll be fine. It's only as difficult as you make it.
Where can I see this course profile you speak of?

I only have a SS right now. I just bought this bike and the only ride I've done on it was to the bike shop and back. I'm hardly in any shape, but I have to admit, I'm really stoked about getting out there. I don't care if I'm DFL and every kid laps me, I just don't want to walk half the course. I'd rather donate the $20 and watch.
@Soundguy, if it's any help here's a few videos. I don't know if they're the same course:

Come try it out.... At a minimum, you get to ride some new trails and meet a bunch of great folks....
