HPCX 2014

I hear they are dropping the big climb out of the course this year.

This makes me very sad.

 

[Pearl]

its that stupid steep road one, right?

Good news. I found this and there is still elevation 😀

Gotta say I'm intrigued by the course this year. I'll miss that long out and back behind the maintenance building, but I think it's gonna be MUCH better to watch, and hopefully a lil less heart-attack-y than last year. Just sorry it's not snowing.

Also, here's the tech doc for the race, from Tom Mains. There are SHOWERS! You just have to drive 2 miles to get to them. 🙂

Whoa, that's radically different from the past courses. That southern section (top of the map) especially.

 

[Pearl]

top of the map looks to be the same as last year, some good steepers over thurr

 

[soulchild]

2 different courses, not just the same course in another direction! This should be very interesting!

This is going to be fun!

I keep forgetting that I missed this last year.

Same, so this looks radically* different to me. Sadly I will miss this year too. Sorry Heckles, still won't be able to peep the new kits.

* as radically different as a bike race on grass gets

It's pedal, turn, wheelie, take beer hand-up, pedal, turn.

Apparently bunny hopping and wheelie'ing is frowned upon :getsome:

I'm going to stick to the basics:

Pedal, Turn, Beer, Burp, Pedal Harder, Vomit, Pass out.

Mike, what time is your race tomorrow? I think I'm sans lady tomorrow so I may be able to swing an early morning.

Just 1 thank. Man, you're cheap.
