View Full Version : illegitimate SST weeknight uphill/downhill race series.
So if one was to organize a weeknight uphill/downhill race at sst would anybody be interested?
-It would not really be "downhill" so to speak. The trails selected would feature terrain to simulate a DH course, and only be as downhill as you could get from the trail area of sst.
-Courses could be around 1-5 minuites depending on interest, and would be nearly as much flat and uphill as downhill so the 6" bike would probably rule all.
-Races would be timed with stopwatch and walkie-talkie so mostly just for fun.
-No entry= no registration= no liability= ride at your own risk.
-Oh yeah two classes... Competitive and non Competitive.
Any takers?

a mid-summer, early saturday evening "race" followed with a bbq and beer in the field would make for a memorable event!

Thats a Super D.
More like Mini D.
Ok just rode and sorted a couple of course options.
I will shoot for next tues. the 29th.
Probably paint the course to be ready for some practice by 5pm.
The length will be determined by the attending riders on tues.
I'll paint a full 5 minute course, and we can make the finish wherever the majority votes for. From the parking lot follow the painted arrows.
Any volunteers would be appreciated, and spread the word.
Mini D it is.
Be there.

The first rule of SST is - you do not talk about SST. The second rule of SST is - you DO NOT talk about SST. Third rule of SST, someone yells Stop!, goes limp, taps out, the race is over. Fourth rule, only one guy to a run. Fifth rule, one run at a time, fellas. Sixth rule, no spandex, no plums. Seventh rule, runs will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule, if this is your first night at SST, you have to race.

We should also look for a weekend date later on in the year. Like a Sat or Sun that we all aren't racing somewhere else. That is if everything goes well for Tues. Good Luck to those who can make it. Have fun, and be safe.

How about two classes for a 2nd race... hardtail/smaller bike class...pig (dh rig) bike class.
Just show up with what you've got and we'll figure something out.
Remember this is just for fun, who cares if a HT is racing a 8" bike...
But like Nick said - NO spandex

Seriously though, this a cool idea whose time has definately come!

I have heard about those trails, but have never ridden them. I'd give the race a shot if I could get one of my riding buds to show me the trails this weekend.

the trails the race is going to be on are cyclocross trails so don't sweat it. That and there'll be alot of riding buds there on Teus to show them to you.

Heard the ride was ILL! Next time I'll hopefully be able to make it. Had to hold down the fort at Fluidride.
Sounds like something similar might be happening sometime soon at the Colinaide park

It was a lot of fun. Only thing that sucked was the mosquitos. I think I ended up taking 5th or 6th.
