Anyone know if anything official is planned for next week?

Anyone know if anything official is planned for next week?

We haven't landed on exact plans yet, but we're circling around Wed 5/18 and/or Thursday 5/19, depending on weather, bears, locusts, etc. We'll pop back in when we finally commit!

 

[Magic]

Down for Thursday!

Is it true that there will be landmines planted on all ride arounds? There was a rumor you guys were going hard core this year.😱

 

[jackx]

perhaps bear traps in the areas where people might dismount at choke points or if they decide to run-up hills.
(no ss hater).

Fitting, what with the Jungle theme.

I heard they moved the Tymor course to Jungle. Will we be going CW or CCW?

 

[Team Town Cycle]

Actually, remember the monkeys throwing acorns from the trees a few years back? This year is the 10th Jungle - we thought a retro touch like that might be nice ... 😉

Ok, weather permitting, we're going to a pre-ride on Wednesday, May 18. Meet at the gate at 5:45 p.m. We'll have someone to lead the Cat 1/2 course, and someone to lead the Cat. 3 course. If it (really)rains, we'll do it on Thursday. A little light rain won't scare us off. If we have to cancel, we'll post here, on Facebook, etc., etc., etc. Course map will hopefully be ready by Tuesday at the latest.

Also, because this year will be the 10th Rumble (wait - whaaat? 10 years!), we're giving away some good stuff as pre-reg incentives. Still working out some additional items, but they will include a $500 gift card to Town Cycle, 2 pairs of Shimano bike shoes - XC, winter, road - whatever you want in whatever size you want ... and hopefully at least one other big prize. Do the BikeReg thing, and we'll pick using the magical random number generator after pre-reg closes, and you can pick your prize up at the race!

Dare I say it looks ... fast?

 

[HumanVise]

What kind of pace are we looking at for the pre-ride (Cat1-2 version)?

 

[xc62701]

I'm sure they aren't going to be killing it with a decent group showing up to learn the course. But, it should be faster than those looking to stop and stack rocks on the side of the trail 😉 I'll be there tonight.

NO Rock stacking tonight LOL. Haven't been riding much and really want to race on Sunday. I guess this could be my training ride if I make it.

It was cool to see so many out for the preride last night. Too bad my wheel didn't want to stay inflated. Thanks Pat for wanting to hang as I attempted to repair my tube. I did finally get it up and running and finished the loop. Those bugs in there were insane last night. Bring some spray for race day - or just don't stop 😉

Anybody preriding tomorrow

 

[MMuller]

course set up today? Running CW, so down otter slide, eh?

 

[Team Town Cycle]

The trail monkeys will be headed in around 2 to start taping and arrow-ing, so plenty of people there to give you pointers!
