[QUOTE="woodchuck, post: 154736, member: 18288"] [b]Wow what a course![/b] Hello Wfodbiker, Holy Cow batman, what a course! Your post led me to thinking, "aw this should not be too bad". Sidenote: I (WoodChuck) have been riding for about 2 1/2 seasons. I ride a GG EC300 and consider myself pretty decent in the steep and technical stuff. Prior to this race I ran in Rockton, ( near Rockford) no other races. Just before I went to the starting line some one mentioned the words "steep and technical". Steep and Technical is what I found, along with slick and Hair Raising (don't get me wrong better to be too tough than too easy). I new things were going to be tough when 2 minutes into the race I spotted a bunch of B riders the Alpine valley of slime (darn that rain) . The course was certainly challenging, and enjoyable in retrospect,( I did not think that while racing). The course would have been fantastic if it had not rained and a few of the cliff like drop-offs were tempered. Some of the ledges were near inverted (undercut) :eek: and required large gonades. Sharing one experience: I had to launch my bike riderless up a creek bank just to get to the top of it. It landed on top and stayed there so I was pleased. Then a couple A guys (lapping me) came thru, launching thier bikes like frisbees into the air , all riderless :eek: . A new GasGas SE even landed upside down, hitting the ground handle bars first." I felt like I was watching an extreme freestyle motocross event (cool). I then thought to myself " my technic wasn't to bad after all. My lack of ability to follow the trail lead me to repeating a large section of the trail before going thru the main check point :( oh well. This discouragement, a lack of cardio ability (hot day), and some sense of practicallity lead me to stop after one hour (i.e. one long tough and confused lap). I had a great time and I can't wait till next year. Thanks to you and your club for putting on the event. The WoodChuck. [/QUOTE]
