NuDraper and Anderson are good to go. An occasional puddle...ride through not around them please:-) Bluff takes a little more time to dry out as Charles ...
I too am very much anticipating the race on Sunday but I'm very nervous as well. I guess mine stems from lack of experience. THIS IS MY FIRST RACE!!! I'm so...
Be ready to stop if someone falls in front of you. Keep your elbows out and be ready to bump someone with your shoulder if they come into you. Don't be afraid...
My advice is to wear full body armor but I know that's not possible. I'm pretty old and don't move as quickly as some so I need additional help in protecting...
yo dude, don't overlap wheels with the rider in front of you , that is a sure way to get taken down! if you start at the back of the pack, you will have a...
hmmm.... well starting at the back of the pack was my plan too. not a good idea? guess it's back to the drawing board. the knee pads are a good idea... i...
12 MOH is not like other races. They don't have classes. It is basically a free-for-all. You just all line up behind the line and off you go. The serious...
As hard as it will be, hold your line!!! Last year I smacked as beginner who decided he wanted to be near the front of the start. When the gun went off he...
At the 12MOH it is different than most races. The fast guys/gals get up front and go, the rest just try to make it up the first hill without using up all their...
I started at the VERY back last year since I got there at the last minute. The first couple hundred feet are on the road, then you go offroad and start...
Oh yeah folks, if you do decide you gotta walk up the start hill, GET THE HECK OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!!! that goes for the other hills too. even you have to get...
I think the mass start at 12 MOH is awesome!!!! There is nowhere else in any of the races that you do this in. Remember that this race is mostly testing your...
I have a question (again)...why are there so many people that ride 12 MOH, but don't participate in any of the other TDD races? I keep hearing that they've had...
Ryan Your liable to see a whole family, kids and all at the 12MOH doing the race or the tour(not scored but still counted). People from out of state that come...
Ryan and others, It's an interesting balance between an almost incomprehensible passionate mission of Michael LaSorsa (and many friends) and the awesome...
Just a reminder, the registration deadline for the OEF's Annual Womble Retreat is coming up fast. If you are planning on attending but are waiting to verify...
The only place I know of that lists all the races in one place is the Tour De Dirt site. http://www.okearthbike.com/tdd2004.html It doesn't list lengths, maps,...
In a message dated 3/3/04 11:06:33 AM Central Standard Time, ... There are some "inconsistancies" here unless the writer is the sole rider on the course or...
TDD website: http://www.okearthbike.com/tdd2004.html Not all promotors have a website or email for us to link on the website, but contact info is listed on the...
Thanks. I guess I will have to look them up individually. I plan on pre-riding most of them if I can work it into my schedule, some I have already ridden...
Marilyn, I maintain the website that Chris is referring to, it's part of the OEF site. I totally rely on information from Robert Farris (and the race...
All of the races on the TDD are multilap races unless you are doing a distance that can be covered in one lap. The beginner class will do the shortest...
thanks... that answers that big concern i had about the races with laps, makes me feel a bit better. as for 12 moh, my start plan is exactly what you...
this season the tdd, next season maybe downhill since i have that whole "love those fast downhills fever" thing going on. is downhill a year-round thing as...
i've been racing for a few years and i have only once have i been taken down by another rider. i do a pretty good job of crashing on my own, as do most...
no inconsistencies, i am simply not interested in being run over by someone more concerned with finishing a race course than the safety of another rider. and...
It rained all night last night!!! It continues to come down across the city as we speak. It's probably safe to say it will be too muddy to ride. ... From:...
