Time to get this forum rolling!

What class do you race? Type of racing? Whens the first race of your season?

I race expert XC, and my goal is to try a DH race this year (sport). First race is April 20th! :eek:

XC Expert 25-29

Sea Otter was my first race of the season, gonna be a long season as my last race is the end of October!:eek:

Highlights of the year will include the Brian Head 100 where I WILL finish in 10 hours, the Transvesubienne in France where I may die, and 5 billion other races where I have the opportunity to crash.:D

Theres only a handfull of races this year, but I will be at most of them in norcal. The Next one is in a couple weeks in Livermore. Ill take tons of photos for the Monkeyes.

Most of the summer is spent riding Northstart and Tahoe. Should be a good summer.

I race Sandbagger, ahem, I mean Sport Men 35-39. At 24 Hour races I race with Heidi who get's really impatient with my baton passes. It's quite hilarious. We need to capture those on video this year. I'm also racing in France this year. (Get your tix yet Heidi?)

Wow, there's a real witty comeback! ;)
(I'm feeling particularly snotty today...just feel like bein' a prick :D )

Yeah, of course I'll be up there for beers! I don't hold a grudge...I just get sweet revenge. :devil:

I'll especially be up there a LOT more next fall...g/f is going to law school at CU. We both want to find new trails up there anyway...in that area I've only ridden Walker and Betasso.

junior expert mtn bike, cat 4 on the road more then likely will be 3 some time later in the season, and going to race cross this year. so my season will be year round. already done 3 races so far and got one coming up this weekend and one each weekend for almost a month.

OLD (40+) Sport DH - well, we'll see how that goes; my first DH of the season is this Saturday.

Also solo 24 - they don't give us an age or skill category - guess that would be, uh, umm, insane, maybe? Anway, got my first one of those next weekend.

I don't do XC - I'll either suffer for 5 minutes or 24 hours, but not in between:eek:
