I'm thinkin' about it. Not sure if I wanna cough up $40 though (gotta buy that damn one-day license). What class are you racing in?

You know, I've never raced before (and this is my first season on a bike). I have about 45 rides under my belt and I think I'm ready to try a beginner class race. I did the Sea Otter fun ride and that gave me a bit of a hint of what a XC race might be like. I might just make the trip up to try this one out... I'll try not to feel so bad if I come in last.

Not that I remember. I grew up in Napa and worked for a summer up in that area for a vineyard. It's all soil and trees. As to whether or not it's loose or what I couldn't tell you.Aussie Bob said:

I'm going to do beginner 30-34. I've never ridden there and this will be the 4th race I've tried. I just hope to finish.STrackMike said:http://www.puc.edu/Pioneers/HMC/

So I rode it Saturday morning, and the place is pretty sweet. Tons of single and double track, with some technical sections (short but steep rocky and rutty downhill, that I walked). The place does not seem very big, but it was quite fun. I also noticed the altitude (1800').
Coolest feature is that most of the trails are shaded by trees, so it does not get as warm (it was 104 outside in St Helena in the sun Saturday afternoon).
