The meeting for the outcome of the Walnut Lane golf course is tomorrow the 11th at Saul High School at 7100 Henry Ave 19128 at 7pm. Remember we want to build a...
Is the Mass website (still) sick with a virus? Two different PCs were "attacked" when the standings page was accessed yesterday. The virus software went...
I hope everyone is getting ready for the big end-of-season event at Bear Creek Resort next weekend, including the STXC and Super-D Down Hill races on Saturday,...
Great pictures. As Tom said we have big plans for next weekend. We have the band from the relay "The New Kings of Rhythm". We will have series team awards,...
USA Cycling is changing it's MTB categories to the same system used in road cycling, e.g. Cat 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. It is getting rid of the categories as we...
It is a long time coming. Riding a mountain bike for close to 20 years and being called a "Beginner" kind of stinks! Cat 3 sounds a lot nicer, and Cat 2 will...
I guess this cat 1,2,3 stuff is up in the air but if its still Expert class, would we consider going to 19-29, 30-39 age brackets? I understand the idea behind...
Since NORBA almost killed racing, I see no reason to copy anything that USA cycling or UCI would do. Mountain biking has a distinctly different culture than...
We appreciate the comments – keep them coming. Whatever we do will be a joint decision based on input and discussion by all the race promoters at our winter...
John and Rick I agree 100% on not taking this format. Making mtb racing like road racing would be very sad, to say the least. You guys are doing a great job...
John, No doubt about it, the MASS series is the best one out there! MD, VA, and points south have nothing close. I always had the impression that MASS...
Did USAC ever contact various promoters of MASS regarding this re-catorgization? Have they ever reached out to MASS in any way...given its depth of racing -...
Hi all... Yes - forums are still down... right now we are keeping them that way until end of season results are done and final. The scoring system and forums...
If we are going to change our categories to the road system, why dont we start shaving our legs, wear $400 WHITE bike shoes, take all sorts of wacky drugs to...
I only have about 6-8 rides on the bike, but since already have a 29er I love (Intense Spider) and want to add a DH bike to the quiver, my extra 29er needs to...
I took a few pics up at Bear Creek since I was not racing. They are of Sport and Expert. There are three podium shots for beginners. I was riding sweep for the...
Great job Ted!! ... From: Ted <tedcam@...> Subject: [masuperseries] 2008 Bear Creek Finale Pics To: masuperseries@yahoogroups.com Date: Sunday, September...
Here are some Super S and Sport photos. First time my wife used my spiffy new camera, so I tried to filter out most of the blurry ones. Most pictures are of...
Yesterday marked the end of a fantastic MASS season. It was nice to watch the awards handed out to the winners and I am happy for each one of them for their...
I'm still sort of a new rider (beginner last year, sport this year) and am sort of uninformed on this subject. What exactly is sandbagging? What are some...
There's a fine line between a sandbagger and someone such as you described. I think the word you used, "dominates", is where the line is drawn and I refuse to...
MASS has an anti-sandbagging policy, which is to be "racer policed" initially. Start with peer pressure, throw rotten fruit at the podium, high side them at...
Where does one draw the line in the sand?  How do you define a sandbagger? One that podiums a race? If thats the case, were will the elites go? By...
