Nope, One of our guys got injured and hung up racing before the season even started.Acadian said:Jeremy,

This guy got his bike.
Looks sweet huh?
Those pics are sweet.
There might be some of me but they sent me off the mountain first!!
So basically, I was the trail clearer. :dancing:
Finally Jerry can stop bitching about people not snapping pics of him..ya nice bike J!!
Yep, we had so much fun racing there, me and Butch went back to ride there yesterday.
We were doing stormtrooper runs all day wheel to wheel, and ping ponging off stuff. That was more fun than racing.

I actually got back to riding XC on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
About Sugar, there were so many people I have never seen before.
which is also a blast!!profro said:
Well, my type of XC riding is with my MTNx bike, single front chainring, and flats.Acadian said:which is also a blast!!
Also it was my first rides off the trainer since I fractured my humerus 4 weeks ago.
It's Butch Acadian....not Jerry. I look so pretty don't I? Now all I need is a pro contract and an engine
why does that offend you? Mr. Butch!bizutch said:

As soon as these last 2 races are done, all I am gonna do is trailride.
Pisgah in the fall is :heart: !!
Yeah, Sugar and Wolf always bring people out from the hills.
I talked to some guys at Sugar, that knew NOTHING of the Maxxis series.
Most people are not online, and only go by fliers, and if you don't get those in the shops, then they don't show.
We got 110 riders at Wolf by internet and word of mouth without a single flyer. After the race was over, I ran into 30-40 people asking what the date for the race was going to be....they had no idea cause all they go by is bike shops.
And its Mr. Green if you're nasty.Acadian said:why does that offend you? Mr. Butch!
Nice pics Thanks for sharing.

OK...little FYI. I'm going to plan a trail building session at Sugar the weekend of OKTOBERFEST (they serve beer and party). They usually run the lifts that weekend and we will cut trail from the TOP of the mountain. I'll let the masses know when I get the go ahead from the mountain to cut. Me & Jeremy walked it out and found exactly where to put everything. We even found a simple way out of Lizard's Lane that nobody ever bothered to fix before...a virtual straight shot. We banked it in a little with rocks and it's set to go.
We walked the whole mountain looking for places to cut trail. Race run...alternate stuff to link together, etc.

That's October 9th. I'll try to make it.bizutch said:

Let me know when you get approval and I can post details on the site. It looks like I am free to come help for the day
What we did, we did by hand.hurley64 said:
You know how you go left around that big tree, through that super slow corner, and then pedal out of lizard's lane.
We stacked up rocks to the right of the tree, so you just shoot up and
give a couple of pedal strokes out. Way easier.
As far as the jump, we are not sure if we are just going to take it through the woods there instead, that jump blows, and will not me missed.
Sugar has great terrain and a good course, it just needs some tweaking to improve the flow. The trail down from the top can be awesome, if it is done right. Maybe we can have a work day up there before Octoberfest, then finish it that day, ride it and crack brews at the bottom.
You get shot almopst straight across the creek and out...no more "up over a hump, turn left down into gully, then turn right up and across rocks to uphill to little more uphill". We just ramped up some rocks on the right of the tree and cleared a shot to the exit...You can roll all the way to the last 5 feet and give a pedal kick or two out. After we did it...we sort of looked at it and said...."how come nobody thought of that?" Me and Jeremy have put in so many hours building DH it's not funny. :evil:hurley64 said:
As for that jump....it's about # 32 or #33 on my list of things to do. They do that with the tractor, but I'll be happy to mention it.
bcd,
I didn't have any shots of Vermont or flowers posted. What were you looking at? Did someone sneak flowers into my downhill shots?!
Butch,
Great job on the trail efforts at Sugar. You're right, it has a lot of potential as well as some more vertical at the top.
