I need to come down early this year and get used to riding that terrain there is nothing up north that perpares you for that race.

Great job 37. It seems like just yesteryear that we were down there celebrating the 20th!

I am going to be smart this year and bulldog my bike off the cliff into Clints Diner rather than try to be a hero and ride it out..... :blush:

Yikes, I wanted to try this race this year but those logs look downright scary. Would beginner class be same course for an XC?

Great video!

There are others.... ones that flick you off into the creek (twotired :D ). But that slo-mo stuff was from the extreme test of the CEC, included because both those riders are sponsored by A&E Racing and Marine who is the main guy behind the XC. It doesnt matter what your skill level... the race is a challenge, It has its Heaven and its nastiness for everyone.

Not really. I'll publicly announce right now to all you new comers and seasoned vets that there is absolutley NO SHAME in quitting early if you just can't finish . :smirk: :lol:
