Pumped for the shuttle. This years trail is going to be awesome. How often do you get a chance to race a full on freeride trail.

We will be running one pickup + a trailer. The truck will pick up riders at the top of the stairs and drop off at the entrance to the single track that leads to the Tower.

The Faceplant page is opaque to us technophobes, can you give me an idea of race times on Sunday Dave? I appear to have developed a clash but I've my finger's crossed the racing will finish in time. Yes I know; priorities, priorities...

Hoping to get out there somehow. Not sure about racing as I haven't touched my mountain bike yet this season but making pictures or helping out at least would be just as fun.
Movie night is most likely! :D

Ya mark!!!! Racing should be done around 2. And because of the tmming system the should be handed shortly after. This going down rain or shine.
On a side note I have been having great difficulty contacting Tamarra at BNS. My paperwork was submited in march and fees payed. But I have no idea who our commisares are. I havevbeen calling, leaving messages, emailing, and having nice chats with the receptionist at sport nova scotia. So we might be running this with no commie in the rain.

Thanks guys. Looking forward to it!

Dave... can you get me an e-mail please? We don't have a chief commissaire this year so assigning commies has been kind of a crap shoot. Most races have just been using their commies form last year, or someone within their club.
I didn't realize you guys didn't have one lined up.

The weather is looking great for the Shuttle ride on Saturday, and the forcast is for periods of light rain on Sunday. This might actually be preferable to the 30+ degree weather we've been having. We will have several tents on site and the shuttle running all weekend.
I look forward to seeing everybody and gettin rowdy!!!!!!!!
Cheers

Also if any non races would like to help out Sunday with marshaling that would rock. It's a easy - yet essential - job. Blow a whistle when a rider passes by. Volys get entered in to the draw prizes too.

Im totally up for marshalling if someone wants to drive me there. I'm also able to make some pictures while Im there.

Epic weekend. Road rash and some broken bones( best wishes for a quick recovery you guys ) Gaps, step downs and greasy shoots all make a perfect weekend. Big thanks to all the valley boys for a great race.

I'm still dreaming of a dry race at the Gorge (Sat was just amazing). Nonetheless, great fun in the wet, and how close are a lot of those times given the conditions?! Thanks to all who made it happen.

Sounds like an awesome day, lads! Great successes. Was in Cape Breton representing at some family events. I can't wait to go play on that course as I haven't been up this season yet.
