Very Cool
I'm stoked about these... and they're not even on Wed this year either! Bonus.
Crits
And they aren't even too early in the season as usual. I might actually do some of those. Expo Idaho as in the fairgrounds where the horse racing track is at?
Yup
Except not on the dirt. :) Same place they did it this year but there were only 3 I think and they were on Weds.
Nice
Great location and not in the August heat like the 3 this year. I really liked that course.
Choo Choo, Let the Blue Train role!
I am absolutlely planning on doing these. Let's do our best to have a productive off-season so we are ready to role come race time. Last year was a little crazy for me, but this year looks much better. We have good numbers in the Cat 3 field and could have a decent showing for the Cat 4-5 as well, so all aboard and, "Let the Blue Train role!!!!"
hmmmm?
yea this sound very tempting to try! if you guys could give me some pointers i'd be stoked to give it a go! so close to home too.
Do it!
Come spring time and we'll fire up our training sessions again, which also happen to usually be on Tuesday. Brad gave us all sorts of pointers that were especially helpful for crits. We did several nights of cornering practice in parking lots, etc and we'd be happy to have you along!! If you're lucky I'll even show you how to puke following a few sprint intervals.
sweet!
that sounds killer! i wonder if Brad ever gets tired of schoolin my lame butt! im a pretty decent puker, no projectile or anything fancy.
