Squirrelly Racing

Made it up to Massanutten Fri. around 1 ish and we got registered and checked in to the hotel promptly. Did 3 practice runs and was feeling good and starting to really bond with the Socom. It felt like it wanted to go much faster than I was comfortable with yet....

Sat. rolled around and the crew made it up and got another practice run and checked out a new line at the top of the course - it was sweet except for a bit of a hole that could either be gapped or rolled. It was definitely the faster line though. Unfortunately for me, I think I hit it too slow to gap and too fast to roll and managed to flat the rear tire and dent the rim too much for repair. Chalk another one up to the mountain. It is 2 out of 3 for the last 3 years.

At least there is 08 to look forward to!

Big props to the Massanutten crew for putting on a super smooth race with nearly 260 racers.

Just got this from Ryan:

This summer WolfRidge Ski Resort, aka Wolf Laurel, will play host to 3 slalom races and the WNC DH champs!

Slalom 1- June 2nd or 9th, will secure date this week.
Slalom 2- July 21st
DH Champs and slalom final- Aug 11th.

Cash paid to pros, swag to ams. Meals included in entry fees, which will be reasonable. Plenty of lodging at the resort cabins. New courses with a different flavor thrown in for you!

Spread the word, as the attendance to the races will greatly impact the possibility that the resort will open a full-scale bike park in 2008.

There will be more details coming in the meantime, if you would like to be put on the mailing list, send an email to Ryan at mbrp07@yahoo.com.
