    I love this race, mostly because of my tree root fettish, but also because of the smoothness and proness of the promoters and host. Great work yous guys!

    Also, if anyone picked up a red wool jersey with two black bands on the arm, holler at me.

          I’ll ask around to see if anyone remembers what happened to it – my guess is that if it isn’t with the rest of the l&f stuff then it probably got picked up w/ the leftover volunteer prizes and that Tobie from NCC might have it.

    Excellent course. Good mixture of technical and power sections. I do wish there would have been one full-speed barrier (not really a complaint, just an observation). As a rule of thumb I think it would be a good idea to have at least one full-speed barrier and one “technical barrier” (i.e. a barrier on a hill, around a hill, by a ditch, etc.) on every course.

        Yeah, I’ve seen that one before. Super funny (assuming he actually is ok). This is one reason it’s recommended to lift your bike off the ground when you’re trying to go over (not through) a barrier. Being able to take a barrier at speed is a basic but difficult skill for cross (one that I wish I was better at). Like technical turns, power sections, run-ups and sand pits it’s a place where riders can improve their position/take chances or lose spots depending on a number of factors. It adds a technical and tactical element that can make the course and the races more interesting. Barriers that are placed right on or after sharp turns, for example, are usually less interesting because you have to scrub most of your speed, which does not typically allow riders a significant advantage/disadvantage based on their barrier form. Again, this is offered as a general comment on course design not a criticism of the Hopkins Park course, which I thought was great. Many thanks to all the teams/clubs/individuals who contributed to the well-run event.

        I also left a grey zip up long-sleeve hooded shirt. I believe I put it on the chair at registration as I was trying to get all the 4A’s on the wait list in. If anyone has found it, I’ll be helping with registration on Sunday. = )

    Great race today Half Acre and Robots pb Love! I got so wrapped up in the excitement that I forgot my wheels in the pit and was wondering if anybody picked them up. They are a custom pair of Major Tom’s with white DT 240 hubs and Challenge Grifo’s. If anyone picked them up I would appreciate you getting in touch with me and I’ll figure out how to pick them up. Many thanks.
