Let's vow not to support them monetarily. Maybe it will be so bad they'll drop it like a hot potato and RedBull will pick it up again.

Get rid of that sandy open land stuff at the start and add in rabbit hole for next year’s race.

Watching all the GCN+ films I can before 12/19. There are some great ones. The one about Tom Ritchey is especially good.

I had zero idea it was happening as I'm not on FB anymore. I'm guessing that's where it was announced/promoted. I'll keep an eye out for it next year.

Nippon Denso >>>>> Bosch automotive.

This is a good thing. I had been expecting crashes based on the very loose areas but now with the bit of rain it should tighten up the trail nicely!

Ugh…

It was at mile 10.6 of the race loop when starting from the registration shack. It felt like it would have shortcut the trail. It was after a g-out.

Rocky Hill is fun again! It is going to be a brutal 3 laps. Feels like 90% of the climbing is on the first 4 miles. Litter box has aged well. I feel like now rocky hill has regained its soul. a couple of notes: 1. New section of corkscrew needs better marking. Branches are laid out after the switch back and with the leaves the new way is not clear. 2. Beginning of lemonade several trees down but not on the trail. However, one of them is precariously resting on another very thin tree. With this wind today I wouldn’t be surprised if more come down and this one goes all the way down. 3. In black track there’s a split that is not marked. I went left to do the extra length but wasn’t sure if that’s the correct way.

OH NO HE DIDN"T!

BTW, start loops are usually done to string out the riders. The Hilltop race did a great job. The Palo Duro did not. basically 100 yards on the road downhill with a loose turn then right sharp turn into deep rutted (like horse trails) single track. It was a mess. All the endurance races at Rocky Hill I've done use the loop around the loop around the pond, and some even do a LeMans start.

After I posted here I saw Paul's Strava lap for the 2023 Marathon. Looks like they linked to it on the TMBRA site. Thanks!! https://www.strava.com/activities/10103143737

Can anyone find the patent filing? I could not find it under Will Montague, Guerrilla Gravity or Revved.

downvote and comment?

Do you know what's going to be the course for the marathon and the EE?

Yeah I'm still in the lab, no ride for me today.

Do we bother bringing anything tonight or do we end up at ABW?

Holy crap! I rode Hilltop yesterday. I hadn't driven that way in a long time. You can't throw a rock and not hit a brewery, winery, or distillery on the way to Fredericksburg!

What breweries are recommended?

And when you head into the live trees, it makes you feel more like riding into a forest and not just riding in a bunch of scrub. Some of those ash junipers are tall!

Are the spindle and new hole location on the same plane or do the cranks flare out.
