Is there a non-Pro version of the course? I assume the Pro version has barbed wire, tiger traps and punji sticks?

Not this barb wire.

 

[Patrick]

yes @extremedave - that is the non-porn version of Barb Wire.
i leave the research to the curious.

 

[Mitch]

Is there a non-Pro version of the course?

Yes. Pro uses the lower, rocky lake section and non pro uses the upper less rocky section. Same distance.

Can we pre-ride the course tomorrow?

Can we pre-ride the course tomorrow?

As long as you toss some dirt for TM

 

[Steve Vai]

What time?

Mad props to @afurlong who showed up to race a day early... Then decided to stay for one of the most brutal short track tm sessions since the mass snow removal of 2014. Thanks again for your help man!

Every TM is brutal, just saying

Well moving wheel barrels of stone vs leaf blowing... But yes, they all suck.

14 wheelbarrows from parking lot to bridges yesterday. I think I killed Soundz. I should have video that.
Dragging I beams
Digging footings
Digging snow
Hell even leaf blowing sucks after 2 miles.
But we can now say "we are the greatest show on earth"

All of this rain is just gonna drain into the pond and the conditions will be great for the frigid morning....probably..

The rain will irritate the dragon more.

I admire this optimism.

Rain has come and gone

I would have posted a photo of me opening a beer here with a clever caption about doing "openers" for tomorrow's short track race, but I, too, have been afflicted by MTBNJ Samsung-no-upload-itis.

Boooo.

 

[Patrick]

Well?

Update the people that couldn't be there!

Short Track was great today. I really liked the new course- the climbing was a good test of fitness. Conditions were a bit muddy in a few spots from last night's rain but it wasn't too bad. Seemed like a good turnout too- awesome to see so many kids riding.

As always- thanks Mtbnj for putting on these races!!
