Ringwood Rumble

At the pre ride yesterday Dave said the cat 1 course will probably be adding the cat 3 juniors course as a prologue. I think It was about 2 miles long.

I just rode the course. It was recovery pace for me and still 7.3mph. The first 5 miles is all fire road. A guy like Lando will be under an hour. Why not just make it two laps? @jShort . You can always race cat 3 for that cx effort?! Just sayin...

aren't you racing endurance? you get to do as many laps as you want.

I dont think the ringwood course has ever stayed as originally planned in the 11 years since I have been going to it....something weather related always seems to cause changes...so I would worry too much about it until race day.

you going with FS-SS? or your hardtail?

And if TTC made it 2 laps, that just means there is a chance that lando would lap us.

I can understand the issues with laying this course out...you want to use the best trails/downhill in the park, but its hard starting at shepards to do that in 5-6 miles.

We are planning to be out there Friday before lunch marking the course - you know if we do it any earlier the squirrels will turn all the arrows the wrong way just to mess us up ...

I mean, you know there’s not a chance in hell we ride that course if it’s pissing rain all night before and the morning of. If we get an inch of rain, prepare for a fire road course.
 
OK, we're as ready as we are gonna be! Course is marked, dry (for now!), and ready to go. For those of you who didn't pre-reg, and wake up to sunshine in the morning and a stomach full of regret, we are waiving the extra day-of registration fees. Pull out your swimmies and your fishing pole and come on down! Registration opens at 7:30, and the crazy endurance guys go off at 8:45.

I stand corrected. I just got confirmation that the courses will NOT change. Sweet!
