Okay, the Prep School MTB season is on! Just heard from the coach at Proctor. Race on Wed, 9/22 is at Blackwater Ski Area in Andover, NH (I believe this is on the Proctor campus). Race will start at 3:30 and course will be open for inspection at 2 pm. We’ll plan to leave the Start House in Woodstock at 1:00 pm and we’ll pick up Erin Donahue on the way to the race. We should get there by 2:30 or so.
Word has it there will be an A, B and C boys’ category and one girls’ category, so think about the category in which you’d like to race and get back to me asap on whether you can attend as I’ll need to send in our roster early next week. Also, don’t forget to clear things with your school to leave early next Wed.
ALSO, LET’S DO A SPECIAL PRE-RACE MEETING AND PRACTICE ON TUES, SEPT 21. We’ll have a brief team meeting and bike check at the Start House at 4:00 pm and then we’ll go up and do a quick loop on the Mt. Peg trails for 45 min or so.
For those contemplating the cross season, here are the races we’re tentatively planning on attending this season:
Sun 9/19: Williston Verge: http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=11403
Sun 9/26: Sucker Brook: http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=11573
Sun 10/3: Gloucester: http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=11416. Absolutely humungous race. Not to be missed. The “Big Show” of the NE cross scene.
Halloween: Wicked Creepy in Bennington: http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=11085.
Sun Nov. 7: Northampton MA verge race
Sun Nov 21: Easthampton MA http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=9913
Sun Dec 5: Warwick RI verge race
For cross training, we can do the Paradise Sports training race on Thursday nights in Windsor if there’s enough interest (we’ll move WBC’s mtb night to Tues night to accommodate this), so, besides Alden, Peter and Brook, let me know who’s interested in cross!!
Thanks, all.
