~~~~Sacred Shed Thread II~~~~

Hi

Does the Shed Bike Club have a web site? I see that Tool has shedbikeclub.org, but it does not load?

Not anymore unfortunately, our buddy who hosted the site is far too busy now to maintain it so there isn't really any other way other than to get on our mailing list or check in here. email [email protected] for more info.

Aaron, I feel like crap that i didn't join in. I was with my future brother in law and just wanted to show him around for a bit. I was really kicking myself afterwards.

It was fun man, you should've joined in. Maybe next time, last Tuesday of every month for the summer.

Awesome twoonie race last night

I don't get this twoonie race series.
Do you guys race down? or up? or up and down?
What trails do you race? Are there tape lines?

I admit, it sounds like fun, but no one I talk to seems to be able to explain how it works.

^that, and knowing whats up for grabs may entice more to show.

Twoonie races are all about fun and riding. Each time there is a race the course changes. Sometimes all down, most of the time it's a combination of the two. We've had a Mini-D which had winning times of 2:40, a two-person team relay which had a total of 10 short laps shared between the two riders to the last race which was a longer more pedally course with a little uphill where times ranged in the 4's to the low 5's. Courses are taped and marked the night of the race and torn down right after. The race series is tryig to promote the possibilities of having organized fun in the shed for everybody, and what we have seen has shown some good success. Young guys to a father and son team to oldtimers who we haven't seen in a long time. Everyone's welcome, the XC guys are racing next to the freeriders in these races and there are ear to ear smiles from everyone. Come check it out on the last Tuesday of this month and see for yourself.

This isn't Phast Wednesdays or the Thursday night Twoonie races in Whistler so we haven't quite got the sponsorship that those series enjoy to draw the numbers they get. What's up for grabs here is a little competitive racing, some comraderie and a chance at some bragging rights for the winner. This series also adds a little something different to the riding area which we all have come to know very well and can be a little repetitive. Ever ridden a line in the shed and wondered what it would be like to race? Here's your chance………oh and we also provide food and beverages after the race for everyone.

sounds sick! I'll be there on the 24th! where do we meet? and whats the format for this twoonie race. Pm me details

Here's the info on the remaining races

Check it out kids………………..

Yes.

Bender gets B I G at the lower end past the creek drain.
Should be a hell of a race.
