Where is the "Grizzly" Hill Climb? Is it close enough to the staging area for people to be able to walk in to watch? If not, will there be a flagged route so people can ride in to watch?

hoppy, as Brent has said it was the pro loop I was talking about, the other loop has all kinds of stuff that youll enjoy, What allways gets me about the pros is their ability to find traction and keep momentum going on stuff that I can barely walk on, let alone ride!!!!!

[darren]

only Brent and me know where the Grizzly is...and neither of us even came close to climbing it! And we both promised to keep it secret so there is no one else that knows! Either Brent or me will go out when the iron men do lap three to re-route the course to the Grizzly climb. Talk to one of us during the race (or before) and maybe you can come along for helping the iron men up the climb. You will have plenty of time after your race to eat and clean up to head out for the climb b/c this climb will be around hour seven or eight!

Yesterday I rode with Chris Mele, Cody, Wildman Kevin and Dave Hodgkins and we finished up some ribboning and so far Kevin and Chris are gonna do the iron man challenge...so far Chris is the only intermediate that I know of that is going to do the Iron Man challenge! Looks like we have a top roster coming out to do the challenge, wil be awesome.

Sunny and a high of 23 degrees on Sunday. Man (and Woman) this is going to be a great race!

I can smell the dogs (that Spinalguy donated) cooking on the BBQ already.

Hey, we were all juniors at one point...right! so a race like this is so cool because it gives everybody something to shoot for and it really helps the newer racers develop technical riding skills.
i just came back from dropping off the motorhome at fisher staging and there is no snow out there, not even up on the ridges....SWEEEEET! and then with the weather coming up will be great. does anyone have an extra table we can use for sign in and helmet checking? E Z ups?

can't wait this is going to be my first race since the 01 moose mtn and it was the format of this race that made me want to race again i hope i will be able to run the ironman sounds like a good time to me !!!!!

I am thinking of going in this XC. I have never raced. Anybody know how much a day licence is? Do I get assigned a number there? I am 34 years old, what class do I sign up for? I have ridden with a few of you guys, so you might be able to tell me what class I should be in. Also, the poster says the "main" race is on the Sunday, but at the start of this post it names Saturday as the one to be at.

thanks.

Chucker, the poster is correct. Race is on Sunday for the Adults.

Vet classes start at 35 years so you would run a conventional class like Beginner, Junior, Intermediate, Pro. Most experienced riders would start in Junior but I don't remember how you ride.

Chucker,

The CMRC Juniors seem about as fast as the CMA Intermediates. I was surprised how fast (and big) the Junior class is. It is by far the largest class in terms of numbers. Have a look at the results from the earlier races this year (cmrcracing.com), and check some of the names, you'll know a bunch of them and you can probably figure out where you would like to put yourself.

Chucker, Ive riden with you, go in Juniors and get yourself a trophy, go in intermediate and get yourself beat up!!!

[chucker]

Howard, thanks for the confidence boost, but i'll be happy if I finish. I have only ridden my WR once this year and that was at the Kook. It still needs a bit of tweaking, but I hope to take care of that tomorrow.

Juniors it is!
