MTBNJ Short Track Race #1

[mattybfat]

Nice fatties almost doubled the reg today! You will not be disappointed!

 

[pedals]

These races are a social thing, its March...everyone is supposed to suck.

Yeah but I suck the most !! Can I say that? You know what I mean, right!?

 

[Pampa]

What's the plan for the starts? Are skinnies going first and then fatties? At what time is the start for the fatties?

 

[Norm]

Fat bikes can go first. 9 and 9:01.

 

[Pampa]

Thanks

You're asking for trouble if you do this...less complainers in the fat class

 

[gtluke]

Why is there a correlation between tire width and annoying complainers? Imagine hosting a road race? Ew.

 

[mattybfat]

No my opinion has changed skinnies first fatties second to clean up the ruts....

exactly - thinner tires leads to more complaining.....

These guys are racing on snow. If they complain, well then there's no hope for mankind. But Matty wants to reverse it so that's fine. Honestly I don't care.

Registration says 10 for silly sport. Is this still true? Please confirm

I'm extending reg until 11:00pm tonight. We've had a handful of people jump in late.

Also opening up a few sport spots now. Get on it!

I think this is true.

EDIT: are you asking about start times or available spots? My fault, I read it as you were asking about available openings.

I agree with Matty. Run the Fat Class after Open.

It's going to warm and the skinny wheels will destroy the course to the point that it will be un-rideable for the Sport Class. And I honestly think the Fat Bikes are just going to run circles around the skinny bikes anyways...

Temps up there don't get above freezing tomorrow and will be 22 for the start of the sport class. So that won't be an issue. Can't comment on the tire part.

 

[Steve Vai]

Sweet. The colder the better!!

 

[bobmadd]

Are there any openings for tomorrow in the fat class?

 

[Magic]

Great time to get sick... I thought I felt funny this morning 🙁. Hoping to make it out if I can sleep it off. Hope to see you all tomorrow!

 

[Mountain Bike Mike]

Good luck tomorrow!
