Rachel and I are heading out to race The Downieville Classic this weekend. I am pretty excited to get out of the 801 for a few days. The race should be a kick in the ass. It is an old school point to point XC race with lots of climbing, more descending, river crossings, and lots of single track. There are like 2500 racers in the XC. Hey NORBA you listening? Point to point unsanctioned XC race gets 2500, NMBS lots of laps at a ski area gets 200. Anyway, good times to be had in No Cal.

I did that race in 2002, it was a blast. Try and beat my early race career time of 2:46, but have fun on the DH and at the post race festivities.

Oh yeah, in 2002 sections of the DH were brutal, 1.9’s may not cut it, I would run a fatty up front. 2.35 or something. But I am chicken.
