Thanks Kim,
I wish I could come over this year to the ISDE this year - I had thought of coming along and volunteer to help the U.S. team this year. Especially since it is in such beautiful location. The u.s. team manager (gunny claypoole) lives near me and I sometimes help him prepare and load up the container (all the rider's bikes, etc) for the trip, etc. He has asked me to come along - but I can never find the time...

Is there anything that the u.s. rider's should be prepared for? Sounds like the traction will be fantastic - is the pumice hard on tires? Does the terrain also have rocks that might cause flats, etc? What are the trails like? Tight stuff or more wide open?

thanks,
jeff
