Wednesday was a busy day….. I had to pick my Dad up from Albany early in the morning and I hadn’t even packed our trailer up.! I was a bit late picking up Richard but it was great to see him again.
We made it out to Mt Snow and unpacked our trailer and set up the pits area like old times… Its weird because I have been out here by myself for so long and I have gotten used to setting up everything by myself.. I kind of missed having my Pops helping out with everything…. so its good not having to worry about everything.
Anyways I ended up walking the DH Wednesday afternoon and let me tell you it was a bit of a hike! I left at 5:30 and got back at 7:45 I took my time walking down checking every possible line… so I know the track now.
Track is pretty sick! Top section is all new covered in thick moss makes the track a little difficult to know where you are riding..
Middle section was the same as the previous local races so it was great after trying to learn the track a little bit I get to the middle part and have some fun.. like a mini break. They ended up cutting the last section from previous races and rerouted the track across the ski slope…. even more tiring now!!! but way more fun than a boring road..
So all in all the track is sick still..
Thursday afternoon DH practice started and the top section as predicted was pretty slippery covered with invisible rocks… lets just say I ended up having to replace my new carbon bar from Control Tech as I had hit a couple hard HARD! hits.. pretty amazing how strong those bars are.. So I still feel pretty confident with them.. Track is going to be quite tiring… I’m guessing the track will be around the 5 minute mark.
Right cant be too long as my battery is dying and I keep getting interupted with people saying hi to me… I must be popular!! hahaha… no.. its just good to see all my riding buddies.! Brings this race back to memories.
Anyways … Cheers! check the pics out..
