Nothing to see here

Just got doing Hampshire 100k but planning on racing what, according to all reports, is an excellent course. Considering a full recovery from 6 1/2 hard hours is unlikely, pay no attention to the guy in a heap on the side of the trail with a camera strapped to his head. Will have race vid and report by Tue. night.

Never been heckled by a World Cup organiser until now. After last year "Kabush Falls" (see YouTube) is a new section on Windham XC course.

Sorry, a bit off topic. I will be in Mont-Sainte-Anne for the World Championships to watch. Do I have to buy tickets in advance to get in? or is kind of a day of the event?

Thanks

I wonder...

...are they really going to use 29ers tomorrow (and next week)?

They weren't using them in training today.

There should be no problem getting in on the day of. If you were going to the parties you might need tickets in advance as I believe they have a maximum crowd size, but they can pack a lot of people on that mountain during the races.

Parking might be a bit of a challenge right on site but they'd likely have some shuttles from their overflow ski parking lots.

EDIT: OOOPs, wrong thread. meant to ask this question in the World Championships thread.

Wow, MHP with the hole shot, plainly getting frustrated by being caught in traffic on these fast start loops. I hope she doesn't use herself up early. :thumbsup:

 

[rockyuphill]

Canadians 1 and 2 on the first full lap, Pendrel followed by MHP.

Catharine is on fire!! So cool to watch/listen this morning.

 

[rockyuphill]

Alright... my bias will show here... go Marie go! :thumbsup:

north american women dominating

did everyone else lose coverage?

Edit: posted by Whybother... accidentally got the wife's acct.

 

[rockyuphill]

Yep big dropout and still no live timing.

Premont has pulled a 1 minute lead on Gould and is only 24 seconds behind Pendrel. Marie is peaking just in time for Mont Sainte Anne. :thumbsup:

 

[rockyuphill]

Wow, wheel to wheel with Marie in front for a stretch. Who says World Cup XCO isn't exciting. :thumbsup:

 

[rockyuphill]

Wow! What a finish !!!!!

It's the war of 1812 all over again... Canadians on top.

Huge congrats to C-pen!!!

 

[newtrailhead]

Congrat CP - nicely done. and also MHP - look out next weekend!

That course looked pretty lame - not very interesting.
