hey all.
just got back from dinner. pretty low-key day, woke up to some rain covering the ground. looked like just a light covering, nothing major, but i was hoping that the roots would not be too slick.
so me and dan the man took a lap and about 2 minutes into the loop, we ran into steve schwartz - an Indy Fab rider whom got second to me at big bear in west virginia. the roots and rocks were slick, but not as bad as i expected.
we missed a little section of the course yesterday, so we rode that today too. nothing too exciting there too. the pics i have posted are of the rocky sections, but there are some long sections that are packed gravel - sort of crushed stone. really fast, about double track width. kind of boring, but when you throw in some really cool single track sections, it makes it super fast. loop is around 14.7km long.
rider meeting was today - course was mentioned, all the rule were gone over, and even some mention was made of the jeff kerkove situation. he didn't mention any names or any particulars, but went on and on for about 10 minutes about it. the first thing that he did mention was that he never said "no refunds." supposidly he is going to review this on a case by case situation at year end. i'm not going to go into what i think about all of this as i can go on and on about it - and today is really not the day to get into it...
so, with that - i must depart. bags and clothing have been packed and sorted into bags, initial stuff has been done.
later - sologoat out.
