Charm City

The blue & orange tent will be in the house both days!!!!!

Stop by and say hello. Figure Saturday all day. Sunday we may end up packing up pretty quickly after the B race.
 
I'm in for both days and looking forward to it. It was a fun course last year!
I am really bummed to miss the Westwood race this weekend, but I prefer the MAC races and the larger fields of women. Hopefully they will not conflict next year. 🙁
 
Agree Pixy - I think Westwood is 1 of the best NJ races, and it stinks that it's a conflict. But I want to check out Baltimore this year.

We'll see you there!

I plan on leaving after the B race as well and try to be semi-productive with the rest of the sunday.

sounds good ill stop by and will have a sunnybrook SS on 🙂
 
have fun people. im gonna do the B race at westwood.

I think Westwood is harder, but Charm City is a really fun course. The beer tent is placed right in front of the barrier section that is built around a big tree root and not too far from the sand pit. Good fun.
 
What a great race today! Bone dry, acorns, flat course (in pixy terms) with 3 difficult dismount sections in terms of heart rate plus a double sand section with a turn in the middle. Todays was the largest master field I have raced in Mac (20+), and I was already lapping riders by lap 2, so it was busy out there, but in a good way 🙂. I do get a kick out of seeing the young ones out there. I had to leave before my results, but plan to be back again tomorrow. Great weather and fun day. Praying for a little rain tonight. 😉
 
Bravo MTBNJ! Yer tent was perfectly placed for heckling/support/day-care. And you raced the hell out of it today.

You looked great Ellen! Thanks for the flicks.

So glad we made the trip down, worth every minute of traffic we sat in on the way home 😛
 
You guys needed the super navigator Utah to get around the traffic. 3.5 hours to do the 205 miles, with 95 closed included in there. Not bad at all.

Awesome weekend.

Steps suck though. There's a reason man invented elevators.
 
Awesome weekend of racing and hanging out under (or along side) the Blue & Orange circus tent. So great to see many familiar faces and watch some really strong performances by "our" people including Pixy, Stacey B, Pearl, Mandi, Pixy, Stacey, Norm, Utah, Sean, Allison and more.

Translation, you needed someone with an Android phone with maps that operate correctly.

Google maps, son.

Sadly, the new iPhone IOS has some crap, not Google maps. I'm never upgrading. This is the sort of business move that gets put in the same hopper as Google Wave.

Wait, go hate somewhere other than this awesome thread, monkey boy.
 
Awesome seeing everyone this weekend, good times!! Thanks to everyone out there cheering me on. Course was super fast and fun.

I told your navigator about the traffic problems....you guys get iphoned or something?
