[QUOTE="wfodbiker, post: 154239, member: 22471"] I expected to be flamed today and I guess I deserve it. What can I say? On Saturday the course was excellent. We were expecting a great race, but then the rains came and we weren't properly prepared for the reroutes. I agree that the drop-off into the off camber right hander was a bit much. Especially when I went over the bars and performed a near perfect face plant while I was course marshalling. Mt. St. Helen should have been cut before the race started. It is a fun hill when there aren't other riders stuck throughout the hill. Our goal was to provide a race that was mostly single track and try to get the most mileage we could out of the land available. I guess we were overly optimistic. It was not our intention to promote a survival type race. Believe me, the other course marshalls and I didn't find any enjoyment in pushing bikes up hills or pulling them out of gullies. We realize the course needs to be rideable for all levels and that the C riders are the future of our sport. I know of one C rider that rode Sunday in his first race ever. I will be visiting him and his parents this week to ensure them that the race was not typical and should not be used to as a benchmark for future racing activities. We did have a C rider in his first race since moving up from the 80s who got 6th place and a trophy. I'm sticking to my guns on the C rider thing. We had a C rider mileage the track on Saturday. Of course it was Saturday when the track was dry. We had a meeting after the race and discussed the good and bad things. Our future races will be laid out under the belief that it will rain and we will not arrow a track that we might have to change during the race. I pretty much knew what kind of feedback I would get, but none the less, I'm glad you all posted and aired your opinions. The CMC members will get a copy of all communications on this topic. I hope this didn't sour you too bad on the CMC. We were invited to check out a 500 acre strip mine for a race next year and would like to have everyone back to ride a completely different and much easier course. We may even have a quad class. Baked, can you give me some more detail on the steel railroad beam. There were only two fourth gear wide open sections. I want to remove the beam if possible. Anne, my hat is off to you for giving it your best on the xr. On the plus side, we did have 61 riders and were able to turn a profit. Our bank account is now approaching a whopping $1,600. The pace we are on should allow us to purchase some land of our own in 75 - 80 years. We are a very small club, just trying to keep our sport alive and have some fun at the same time. Many thanks to those who attended and congrats to the survivors. [/QUOTE]
