I'd let the rider starting behind me know to give you a good 30sec+ head start. Last race I had to pull over a couple of times because people were not waiting long enough. I will not be so courteous tomorrow…

Will do. I will also pull over if someone gets on my ass, even in a fun race I think it's the courteous thing to do.

Come on now its not a BMX race.
Last week i pulled over to the left to let a fast guy go by on the right, he chose the left side, went into the forest had to get off his bike to go around me, he then gets going, i am following him, he eats shit on a sharp right hander, i have to ask him to get his bike off the trail so i can get around him, i am almost LMFAO, had he just followed me we both would have had a better time. All good fun though, no hard feelings, all fun.

Reminder this isn't the EWS.

Pass when you can, pass safe.

Don't take more than 30 seconds between riders when starting stages. Less time would be better as a backlog happens at the start of stage 1 if people take too long.

It's about having fun not about race times.

Fun times tonight. Stage 3 was awesome, with a little bit of everything. I hadn't ridden Sticks and Stones in that direction before, but that's the way to do it, I think.

2nd stage was terrible, poor old slash needs a lot of TLC.

Last stage was awesome, fast with some good climbs, super flow.

Yes it had been a long time since was down Slash, I needed to have a suitable finish location and I knew it was uphill on Bridal once you exit. Mush worse shape than I expected.

Course is set for next week. S1 and S2 are fun fast and flowy. S3 will bring some pain and be pretty long. Get your pedal on, pure DH this one is not.
