This will be my first Almosta Race, test rode the trail yesterday, and it's a heck of a loop. Endurocross section is wicked, woods are fun, lots of elevation change, and extra section for AA/A riders. Washington is not really that far, get with Roostafish, and carpool.

Sounds cool. Rev, we should rent a plane big enough to just fly our stuff out! Assuming I have a replacement bike by then.....

Naw, won't work out anyway, my wife is having a bunch of folks over to watch some football game. Her team is playing in the Rose Bowl, the rubber duckies I think they're called. We're a divided household, I'm a Beaver.
