Night time canal TT

[dgaddis1]

Earlier this year Drew and I had talked about doing another time trial (TT) series at the canal this winter. In the dark.

So, just as a feeler to judge interest, who would be down to do a short, super low key, super laid back night time time trial at the canal? By "low key" and "laid back" I mean, it'll make the Canal Crown look like a well oiled professional "in it to win it for the cash" series.

Here's what I was thinking:
Two races, low entry fee, no classes, winner takes all. "All" will not be much, as the entry fee will probably be less than the $5 fee to race in the Canal Crown. It's not really about racing, it's about hanging out and having a good time with your fellow mtn bikers.

Suggestions? What would YOU, as a participant, like to see in a night time TT?

Ever tried to ride really FAST in the dark? It's scary.

Will it be possible to share lights? If so I am in.

[dsquaredmsquared]

Yeah, I'd be interested.

A whole group of racers slower than me!

Like last summer, I am willing to help with the race, not race in it.

Re: Seenvic -- I'll make you look D___ fast.

Count me in

I'm in if Santa brings me a light.

[dgaddis1]

Borrowing lights shouldn't be a problem. I'll lend mine to folks, and I'm sure others would do the same.

[jtaylor]

I'm in and I'll share and/or bring my spare light

[dgaddis1]

Well, it looks like there's some pretty good interest.

Expect it to happen sometime early next year.

The trail is going to need some work before we have the TT. The "rut" really needs to be fixed, and it's going to take a good bit of man power to do it.

So here's a deal for ya - come work at the work party (date TBD) and get into both races FREE. That's a deal too good to pass up in these tough economic times.

I'll join you with a shovel Dustin. Maybe we should repair it at night, just for practice!
