Any of you guys got an extra seat for an 18 year old racing junior for the April race? I'll pay share of gas and expenses and such, willing to camp/sleep anywhere

You know you are welcome here :)

We are now running with category numbers and I don't remember how they translate as I have not yet taken care of this season's license.

If you race pro up north, race pro down here. If you are semi-pro, well that is a touch one. If you are upper half, go pro, lower half, go expert or cat2 or whatever it is.

I'll have to find that UCI page that describes the cats again.

You will LOVE both PA and Hood.

I can't wait. Sounds like super fun courses all round, and a good vibe. I'll join the big boys in Pro.

I am hoping to head to PA as well. Keep me posted on the traveling arrangements and I will hook up with you guys. I have my truck which comfortably can carry 4 peeps, gear and bikes.

PA looks like a really fun track, should be a good time for sure.

Sean did you go to the shuttles that were happening a little while ago?

We have been kicked with snow here in Vancouver and the higher trails are still covered. O, I have been getting mine but its still not real big mtn riding yet….

Reports? You guys all clear of snow?

We were shuttling in snow…the pro/ex course was burly in the snow but lots of fun!

I think all the trails are now clear of snow…we are going to try and head that way next weekend to check out conditions and get some time in on the courses…

I can make it to any of the borders for pick up, will pay gas money, and will camp/stay wherever…. If anybody is willing to take me to PA I'd love them!

If anyone has room for 2 I can pitch for gas and get hotel hookups.
Please pm or email me [email protected]. I really want to go and my dad was going to drive but he cant because of a sudden medical reason.
thanks.

So Seand, What is the cut off for each course then?
Do pros and cat 1 do the advanced course and the rest ride the intermeditate course?

Me a follow master plan to reg for Cat1 and wing it..Just curious how they sort who rides which course.

See ya soon

No idea! Last year, the pro/semi/exp all ran the same course. Sport had their own course and beginner their own.

This year I assume that it will follow the same, sans semi as it is no-more, course (no pun intended) of action.

I figure we will see Darryl and Ewan (and possibly Connor) like usual…who else is in for some fun riding and pretty okay mexican food :) …and most likely terrible weather.

So far I have talked to Darryl, Tim and Ewan..they are in. Not sure about Connor yet or Tyler G.

I (Eric) am traveling down with a fellow master racer…Grumpy.

…and I think Greg from the freeride dawgs was talking about running a group of 4 people down too…

So we will bring our maple syrup, bacon and sled dogs across the big bad border!

Sound like a very well run event. Can not wait!
