The blubber burn is getting organized and I've got a few of the prices in today...Some sweet stuff from Sombrio, TRP, Michelin and more...We're going out after work to plan the course so we will be night riding on cross bikes tonight. Should be entertaining! Everyone who wants to come out is welcome to join us.

Hope to see you all out there on the course on Sunday. Also, if you don't feel like racing but want to be a part of the race, get in touch with me. I could definately use some help with the timing and marshalling etc.

Rock on Garth!

Got Blubber???

The Blubber Burn Classic, is on this weekend (Sunday February 21st). The blubber what? You might ask. Well, the blubber burn is meant to be an excuse to take those pesky fenders off your CX bike, put the knobbies back on there and kickstart the long cycling season ahead with a cross race at the Dump. In the process you should be able to burn off some of that winter blubber, and who's against that?

This is a Cross race but if you're ready to be scolded and don't have a CX bike you can ride your mountain bike, but only if it's rigged up to be singlespeed.

The race will start at 2pm on this Sunday (Feb 21st.) We'll be in the parking lot quite a bit earlier and will have the course market out, so if you want to take a practice loop, you should be able to do that. Like the poster says: Show up in your finest getup. Registration starts 1pm, race at 2. race fee ($10) goes to trail maintenance at the dump. No categories but prices for men and women. Everybody races at the same time. Le Mans Start. Technical terrain, good people, lots of fun. Hope to see you there.
What else is there to know? you tell me.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call me at the shop.
