Short Track Reg is Open

What's the age cut-off for the kids race? Follow up, can a kid also race in Sport afterwards?

If Vreeland Jr. beats me, I quit biking. J/k, but for reals.

If it makes you feel better, he beats me most days too...

how much up*down? mostly how much up? Fat old guy on a SS asking..

Elevation gain per lap(1.4 miles) is 161 ft. There is elevation but nothing too steep, the course is designed for flow.
However I will say that at race pace any elevation hurts.

@MissJR

Yes yes... I'll sign up tomorrow at work.

Can I wear my unicorn socks?

 

[MissJR]

OK. I lied. I just signed up.

I'm starting to have serious FOMO. This sounds like more fun than a 30 pack of Keystone Light in college (same price too). Homework for all: keep hassling me to get a MTB and force me to ride this next year.

Sounds awesome!

good thing I don't have a race pace then 🙁
Signed up for beginner.
Edit: signed up my son too
Goal: do not get lapped by the whole field of beginners and kids.

Question:
You hang out on a forum called "MTB"NJ but don't own a MTB???
Please step up and enter 2017 with a MTB immediately 🙂

-New kids class
-Kids race for free

Thanks for this.
Not sure if I'll be able to race this year but I'll be registering my daughter

Size?
First one listed in the Silk Road that fits you, you buy.

Consider yourself hassled.....

Dickerson Mine for an hour and a half because I'm tired and lazy, then go home and drink beer and nap (naps are great). Well, maybe not now that I've actually been trying a structured training plan to make more than zero-plus-a-couple watts. I wasn't sure, so I asked.

I deserve to get flamed for that question. Sport it is. Reg'd.

Sport is the correct class then. All good.

You sign up for sport. Then sign your kid up for free. You love bikes.

18?

And yes.

Hey I've never done a race, ergo, I'm a beginner

Sorry, I leaked out of the cyclocross realm. I explained my background and situation a bit on my blog. A MTB is coming eventually but real life is getting in the way. This spring is stupid busy for me and I have conflicts every weekend. I put real life on hold for CX season this year and it's catching up to me now.

@MadisonDan my road bikes are in the 50-52 cm range and I'm 5'8" so however that translates to MTB sizes. Not looking to pull the trigger until after we find a new apartment and I figure out what the storage situation is. I'll post a WTB thread once I really get serious about it.

 

[MadisonDan]

@hotsauce sounds like a medium at 5'8".

Choice 1 - fatbike

Choice B - race machine

Choose wisely. Buy the bike now, then adjust new apartments storage requirements accordingly.

can i mechanically dope my bike for this? just asking for a friend.

thanks.

in for #1

i'll lend you a bike. ain't that easy to get out of this stuff once you show interest.
amazing we traded that 30 pack for a 4 pack, and we are happy about it.

Choice 1 - fatbike

Choice B - race machine

I am confused by this choice system.
