09.01.05 - the down-low from whistler post #3

no shows - cameron chambers and tinker are the most noteable. there are 2 others that i do not know of that were in the top ten.

who i know is here:
1. chris e
2. nat ross
3. hendershot
4. sloane
5. ernesto (sologoat)
6. rob l

and - sorry didn't go any further down pit row, though i did ride with karl etzel today from www.ride424.com. nice guy.

so, tomorrow is the solo rider meeting/press conference thing. my first press conference as i totally missed it last year for some reason as i never received my pre-race packet.

solo area doesn't seem to be as full as last year, but i didn't see the actual number count yet - we'll get that tomorrow.

weather is same as last year, low in the 40's temps high in lower 60's. jump bikes all around, more silly bermed trails and downhill runs for the guys who love to go fast downhill. whistler is more setup for this type of riding then cross country, but it has something for everybody. skate parts, jump parks, bmx bikes - you name, it has it. oh ya, and plenty of pretty girls, guys wearing pants that don't fit and haven't taken a bath in a month and coffee shops.

more tomorrow - time to chill out.

good luck to all my comrades racing this weeekend.

sologoat out.
