Last chance at Canal Glory!

[dgaddis1]

This Thursday, August 27th is the last race in the Canal Crown MTB Time Trial Series! Be there or be square!!

The Beginner class has been growing like crazy, and I hope it's even bigger this week! The Sport racers are getting faster and faster as well. The Expert class has basically been a battle for 2nd or 3rd, as no one has come close to beating JT yet. And that's going to be even tougher this week, since he recently did a little training in CO just to be sure he can win the Canal Crown.

Due to the increasing number of racers each week, we're going to start a little earlier this time. Registration opens at 6:30, first racer off the line at 7:00 SHARP!

I rode the Canal trail today, the trail is clear. It got a little dark riding in the beginner class at the last race. It wouldn't be a bad idea to let whoever locks that gate to know that we may be late getting out, they almost locked us in at the last race.

Rode Range Road today and knocked off 3 minutes. If I can carry that to the Canal Thursday that means I can ride it in 25 min.. never mind

I am really bummed I am missing/missed out on the last two races and the party; I am in Korea playing GI Joe. The first two races were a blast. I hope Ross bumps me from third so there is no gap in the tiny Canal Cup Beer Drinking for the series award ceremony. I am pretty sure he will, because he raced the first clockwise lap with SARS. Despite that, he still executed the now famous and perfect stair climb that I would like to officially dub the: ROSS00-sars-cyclo-gazelle Stair Climb.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

So the weather's looking a little sketchy for the CCTT Finale. That said, we'll make the final call by 5PM on the official CCTT page.

Remember, if we are able to race tonight, get there early. We're going to start racing at 7pm sharp. We rode last night and it's getting darker much quicker in the Canal Jungle. Registration will start at 6:30pm and try to bring exact change to speed things up.

Check the link below later today for the race day decision.
Hope to see everyone tonight! Cross your fingers...

Latest from Drew regarding tonight's race!

"Final CCTT Update 08/27 5pm - We're going to play it safe and call tonight's race off. The makeup date is September 3rd and we will start promptly at 7PM so get there early! You've got one more week to train!"

Truck was loaded, done took my Advil and ate pj sandwich. Probably a good call though for attendance. Will see ya'll Sept 3.

[dgaddis1]

Yeah...it was a tough call today. The weather would have been either perfect, or miserable. We decided to call it off just in case...and, we figured a lot of folks had already decided they weren't coming.

See yall next week!!

Ugh...........

[nucks]

Oh and guess who is back. See you guys on the 3rd.

[drewjordan]

Nucks, you better make the podium so I can award you a coveted $0.75 beer-filled, plastic trophy.

REMINDER..Everyone get there early. Light is limited so we need to start racing no later than 7pm, hopefully a little before that.

Race direction is clockwise so you'll be going up the stairs (running is allowed) at the end.

If this weather holds, it's gonna be so on, only Filet Mignon will do! Man that was lame... So we'll see everyone this Thursday night at the Canal Woods!

[dgaddis1]

Weather looks AWESOME for tomorrow. I'm pumped.

I just picked up a megaphone for SORBA-CSRA.

Expect to hear lots of "encouragement" from me while struggling on the stairs

[drewjordan]

We're gonna need to do a little trail maintenance before the ride. JP and I are gonna try to get out there around 5:30ish to get a couple trees cut and some of the low lying debris out of the way. If anyone can help out by riding with some cutters and doing some light lopping that would be awesome!!!

See everyone tonight...REMEMBER BE THERE EARLY

RACE STARTS NO LATER THAN 7PM, HOPEFULLY EARLIER!
