MAN O WAR update noon 5/30/08

I had lunch with the race organizer - for sure no race on Saturday. They will be checking to see if they can have it on Sunday. There is fear that the trail actually got flooded from the Missouri as it runs right next to it literally in quite a few places!.

If no flooding - there may be a race on Sunday.

skinny tires for me :( No riding sunday :(

Man o War conditions update

From the horse's mouth (or the trail crew that were out there last night!)

I don't think the race will happen if we get any more rain...

Details:

• The ditch when you're coming back towards the road is FULL OF WATER

• There are standing puddles in a lot of areas


• Some of the trail was good (relatively speaking), other parts were really greasy and sticky

As of now, he's got about 10 volunteers so that should be good.

As for racing on Sunday - the amount of rain will dictate. Ted said he'll be checking the trail tomorrow night, but if there's a lot of rain overnight - it won't look good for either day.

Bad news:
If the race does get cancelled, there may be no reschedule. Super hard to coordiante a new date with all involved.

Wanna help a buddy with a MTB Race this weekend?

Ted needs volunteers. Volunteers to help with:

setup
registration
course marshalling (2)
results
tear down

Want to help? I think I heard him say that he'd bring the beverages and that there might be scantly clad women.

wtf man?

I can see it now. The Race is postponed for 1 day due to rain. 1 day postponement means we would be racing on Sunday.

Well, Sunday is currently reserved as a family day. Not just any family day - a go out of town and see the extended family, family day. If the race moves to Sunday - I Can't RACE.

Please be wrong weather man - You are wrong alot when you say its supposed to be sunny!
