Went to register for this sunday and saw that it closed last night🙁 Whats the odds of cat 4 not being filled by 8am that morning?

Pretty good since there are "only" 90 pre-reg'd out of max 125. Show up when reg opens, you should be able to get in.

I think you'll be fine if you get the by 7:30. There's only 90 pre-reg'd

I emailed Craig this morning with the same dilemma and he told me to come on out and sign up at the race...and it was also for the Cat 4

Who else is in? I'll be there for my first CX of the season. Is it bad I'm hoping for a freak rainstorm and some crazy mud? 😀

Well, this race was quite the quagmire last year...

Yup I remember it well. It was the only race I did where I had to shoulder the bike on a flat section and run it.

 

[walter]

Yeah, it was a mess last year.

 

[UtahJoe]

hows this course compared to westwood?

yeh, maybe they will start running the hoses to make some mud. 😉

I am registered and hope to race. Looking forward to it, as I had fun last year.

No, only horseshoe does that. Sorry Jim 😉

 

[Steve Vai]

No, only horseshoe does that. Sorry Jim 😉

We did that on purpose😀

[pixychick]

no worries. my rain insurance boots may keep us dry all year.

There were no runups at HPCX last year. Otherwise, not too different. So if you loved doing two runups back to back, you're SOL.

Anyone from the area riding in? I'm about 8 miles away in East Brunswick, I'm going to ride there, if anyone wants to join let me know.

The course suits mtb riders fairly well. not a whole lotta flat and fun off cambers which will require fairly good bike handling skills.

There is the potential for a run up in one section. I remember two years ago there was one. All depends on how they set the course up this year.

See ya out there!:getsome:

It is best suited for 29er full suspension bikes.
