Anyone know if Wick is going to be able to do these next year?
I thought they were tons of fun, and good training too.

Perhaps at Duthie?

Last time we talked about it (last summer) he was talking about moving them to North Seatac, but a lot has probably changed since then. Email him! His address is published on this page (http://wednesdaynightworlds.com/), so I imagine he won't mind me sharing it....

I got an e-mail from Wick today (and he announced it on mtbwashington.com) that Wednesday Night Worlds are on for this year. Tonight's race is canceled, but it should be starting up next week.
If you're not on mtbwashington.com, a lot more race content shows up on that site. I figure a few people might read this forum more.

Funny, I got an email from him too. In response to one that I sent him on Feb 1! I guess he checks his email very three months. So... I guess it's happening in the same place? There was some talk about venue change at the end of last year, but he didn't say anything about that in his email.

Wick made an announcement on mtbwashington.com yesterday. In it, he mentions that he's going to be holding the race at North Seatac some weeks.

Yes, I'll be holding the Evergreen Time Trial series at Duthie starting mid-May. There will also be a series of xc races down at Black Diamond that is tentatively set up for mid to late summer. The problem with finding a replacement for South Seatac is finding someplace close enough to Seattle so people can get there at a reasonable time. I can do the time trials at Duthie because a. I don't have to close any trails and b. you can come and race it any time between 5 and 7:30.

In addition to what has been posted. Ron Flores at Bike Masters and Boards in Maple Valley is working with some other local racers to put a Wednesday night series together in August at Henry's Ridge. They have all the approvals from the county and the HOAs so it is a go. Ron has a facebook page for his shop if you want to give him a shout. :thumbsup:

Hi All. I am indeed putting together a three-race series to be held in Black Diamond at Henry's Ridge on August 8, 15 and 22. We have three courses mapped out--2 mass starts and a time trial--that are awesome. If it works out, I will do the race series next year for a month or two. Right now we are debating what time to start, keeping in mind that we need to be out of there by dark, so the place would need to be vacated by 8:15-ish. We'd love to do a bbq afterward, but right now we're crunched for time. What's the earliest you guys think you could make it there and be ready to race?

That is awesome news, as far as time the wed races used to be 6:00 for beginner and 7:00 for sport-expert,if you are going to do a mass start I think 6:30- 7:00.. Races were never longer than 2 hours more like around 1:30 as far as race time..

There was maybe going to be something on Grand Ridge, probably linking up some of the options near I-90. I haven't heard anything lately, though.
