Sundance Super D

[Cornholio]

I think I'm out. $20 to race an unknown course when I've had 1 XC ride in a month and I just pulled an all-nighter?

I'll still drive up, powho, if you still want to race it.

OK. I'll say it, from the safety of my flatland Ohio office:

"Pussy."

WEAK! WEAK! WEAK!

I think I'm out. $20 to race an unknown course when I've had 1 XC ride in a month and I just pulled an all-nighter (2 nights before the race)?

Yeah, you'll be spent after getting a full night's sleep tonight.

You guys are so right. It would be 20 bucks well spent. I mean, why stay home and have a shitty ride for free when I could drive 40 minutes to pay $20 for the same thing?

True words (although, I would like to do the SuperD at Sundance soon). Why don't you meet us up at Deer Valley tomorrow or Sunday and do MANY rides for free (we are bringing DH bikes if the lifts get us to something, maybe the NCS course, trail bikes for everything else, possible shuttles for the NCS stuff, etc...).

Maybe we could talk some of the other guys into trying to RIDE THEIR BIKES IN THE MOUNTAINS ON TRAILS INSTEAD OF HITTING THE SAME THREE JUMPS OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

If anyone is up North later today, I think we are going to Snowbasin this evening; the upper trails are supposed to be clear and we are going to ride with some locals. I don't have much other information as I am brain dead from a stupid long week with A LOT of traveling.

Um, we hit the same 3 jumps at I-Street, Tanner, and Park City. Making 9 jumps total, thank you very much.

(I'd love to go to DV this weekend, but due to one of the 9 jumps hitting back yesterday, I'm out ).

[Shepherd Wong]

I went up to the course today and ran through it. I'm still guna do it no matter what all you say!

[Shepherd Wong]

K since I don't have a speed jersey I'll be up there wearing a bright orange shirt with scary bats on it that says "Bat-a-tude" if you're up there say howdy!

Heh. At least we hit them instead of just sitting there, staring at them wishing everyone would leave.

Mr.AG: Hamsters on a wheel with all the people in the mall watching through the window. No Thanks.

Jay, that sucks, get better as it's really getting to be time to ride the fun stuff.

Note on Snowbasin: 2 hours in traffic (heading North at 430pm, stupid), the most mosquitoes in Utah. I was close to ripping all my clothes off, dousing myself in gas and lighting myself on fire. It will be VERY hard for someone to talk me into going all the way back up there again, at least until everything dries out and the bugs all die (sorry Flyk / GT).

Did you ride wheelers up to snowbasin or drive the truck? I really need to get up to Ogden and ride wheelers to snowbasin. They did a great job the past five or six years hooking all those trails up and capping it off with lift service at the top.

[Shepherd Wong]

Well it was fun, nice to meet Yentna and Ski Monkey up there. I finally got some cool wounds, a mini raspberry on my shoulder. I'm pretty pumped on racing now.

Had I known you guys were going I would have advised against it. The trails are way too wet. BTW, did you ride the gondola? The best trails are car shuttled and not lift served.

No, we rode up. Leg power, ya know??

Trails weren't wet at all. Just way more bugs than I've ever experienced in my life. Even in Alabama....

[zion zig zag]

Now i'm really wondering where you were, last time I was up there the trail was a creek bed.

[altagirl]

MR.AG: I think we stayed on trail #6 (Needels?) the whole way up. Actually a great single track, just WAY to many bugs.

By the way, Deer Valley is shaping up very well; when are you going to come up our way again and get that AS-X going downhill? We took Bag out yesterday and had a great time (except for the violent thunder / lighting storms that caused some issues). I don't think we are going anywhere for the 4th but will be riding every day somewhere for sure.
