Man I would love to spend a few days down at RSV riding and relaxing but we have a club race that weekend I have never done this race but I would encourage people to make the trip to Rancho Santa Veronica. Its safe, relaxing and friendly and the trails are outstanding.
NEWS, checking back in, the course is in work, and the entry form is online. see website. For you east coasters Kevin Hines (HONCRE250) has won the enduro version of this race and Nate Kanney has won the HS version (we participated in both of those). This is more eastern style than what is usually thought of as a western (more open) race/ride. I highly recommend this race in any class/level it is a great adventure. I will sign as 40B and need to deal with being a lapper for the pros after a few laps (that is hard at this event) on the tight single track. http://www.losancianos.com/ link is cleaned up now http://www.facebook.com/photo_search.php?oid=146254804259&view=all#/event.php?eid=146254804259 Hope to find other CH writers/riders out for this one.
latest news from the Ancient Ones Hola Race Participants, We're pleased to announce the addition of an Ironman class to the 2009 Tecate Hare Scrambles! In the past we've had many die-hard racers who like to torture themselves by racing both the morning and afternoon sessions, so this year we're going to do things a little differently and will have a formal Ironman class. Here's the details: - Ironman entrants race the morning and afternoon sessions - Entry fee is $120 (compare that to $160 if you were to enter both sessions separately) - There will be one trophy for every six riders in the Ironman class - Ironman entrants are not eligible for any other class (you'll be busy anyway) - The winner will be determined by the rider who has the fastest combined finishing times of the morning and afternoon races. So if you think you have what it takes, download the updated entry form and mail it in. Remember, pre-entries must be received no later than Dec 1. You can download the updated entry form here: http://www.losancianos.com/registration P.S. With the 2009 Baja 1000 just a little over two short weeks away, we wanted to wish our Baja racing friends the best of luck. See you in Baja, Los Ancianos M.C.
Tecate HS I'll be there for sure...got the days set up for it. Staying at the Melero Ranch (Family). Hopefully on a 2010 TXC 250!!! I get the first one that GP gets in. Josh said a couple more weeks...keeping fingers crossed. If not, the trusty TC510 will be plowing through the Manzanita. Rob, you in for staying at Melero Bros. rancho? Any team Husky coming down? Mr. Harden, Nick B, Ty...Gary S...Be a good way to cap off a great year for Husky off road racing. Didn't Ty win it in 07 (Last HS to date)? Maybe a little Husky party saturday night at the ranch after the carrera....Got a little bottle of Don J with ur name on it Rob... Anyone else that lives farther away, I can put you up for the weekend, bring a bike or two...or just come to watch the drama...we got room for ya if your a Husky fan. Mitch. Mitch.
Need to finalize plans, my weekend pass.........etc my crew was planning a Fri afternoon depart most are doing 0900 ride and return on Sat eve,,,I will talk to you about it PS my fingers crossed for your TXC250!! the TXC , that thing will rail those trails,,,,,,hmmmm are you in my class (SenB)??? I hope not!!! because just when I am wearing down you'll be laughing on the 250!
Tecate HS Ok Rob, Alex is always a good host....the distilled spirits ease the pain from earlier in the day (Manzanita whacks!!!). Yeah, I sure hope I can get that 250 in time. Alex's spot tells me he is somewhere in the middle of the penninsula, north of Baja Norte....probably another hammer down crew ride down south of Catavina. Must be nice to be retired or own your own company.... Mitch.
No, im a 30 class guy, no Sen. class for me yet, LOL. Probably do 30b, my single track skills are not honed right now...everything i'm doing is for going FAST in Mex on November 20th.
Cmon socal husky riders this is what our Huskys are designed for, enduro/ XC short course type stuff. This is one of the most Eastern/PNW style XC events in the SoCal/SW areas.
word on the street,,,2 hour sportsman race 0900 12 mile loop,, 1200 pro/ a/ b also 2 hour but a 24 mile loop ( I like that!! for my pace thats prolly 2 laps) That keep us Bs out of the fast guy lapper positions, and thats a good thing.
PNW representing Man from t- talk there are even some PNW riders coming down for this years event. Maybe some of you guys from BC/Wash/Or know some of them? this coming saturday!!! Yee ha!!
Yeah my friends Steve and Margie are going. I believe Bajabound is supplying them with bikes. The Ironman and Ironwoman winners from this race... Later,
wow that is great!! and shoot iron manning(womanning) it!! Am and PM race!!! They will have great stories for this one!!! More power to them, 1 race for me will do me in, but 2 of those in one day!! hats off!!.......and great stuff from BajaBound, Tim & Jen rock!! that 24 hr you guys did is super cool!! (expect Tecate to be slightly more tight and a bit more rocky) but a few less hours PPS glad they are in Iron class less fast folks for me to worry about in my class
they will love it!! and we finally got rained on this past weekend,,,,we are hoping for some showers during this week as well, buuut it looks like no wet weather around again. At least we have some moisture in the ground!! (for a lower dust ride). Hopefully Beau will get some of us weekend warriors in his ProMoto.tv movie!!!
300 bucks for the ironman winner http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=853462 Ironman payback!!
I know it's a bit late, but I'm thinking about buzzing down there to race this. It's only 2 hours from me after all... -Blake
