Downieville - AHHH Crap!!

[OGRipper]

So I missed the registration for the classic. It opened Monday night, forgot to do it, tried at 7 am on Tuesday and everything is full.

Crap crap crap.

If anyone registered in the DH in any class for a 36 year old but can't make it, drop me a line and I will race for you...

Crap.

Crap.

We got on right at 8pm, and I think everything was filled up an hour or two after that, crazy. There should be a better system, but I'm short on ideas.
Sorry to hear you missed out, hope you get in. You can alway marshal with sanjuro?

I'd like to see some kind of priority for people who raced the year prior - like season tickets or whatever - but maybe that's just sour grapes. I guess they want to keep it open for new people too.

The classic is always an especially fun weekend but hells yeah we should definitely do some other weekends up there, I hit it 6-7 times last year. When's the snow gonna melt anyway?

I am going to do my 2nd annual mountain bike tour: the XC course on Friday morning.

I was even thinking about organizing a real ride, ala the Sea Otter mtn bike tour.

Anyone not racing is welcome to join me in Sierra City. BTW, expect to help out with clearing the course, assembling the shower, etc.

It took 10 minutes for junior sport to fill up. It took 15 minutes for expert men under 34 to fill up.

I think that's a great idea.

I managed to snag a spot for the "all mountain ominum" in expert. I'm pretty happy about it.
