Endurance Events of the year. We also still have cabins available, all
that is up on Bikereg as well.

First I will say I am happy to call Eric Krone my team mate.  Eric is also one of several dedicated Guy’s racers that put many thankless hours into the Neshaminy course every year.

I think the rider at the ambulance may have been Wes Schempf.  Wes if you are listening we hope you are okay.  And the several others that had some minor injuries we hope you are okay as well.

Don’t forget the STXC at Hybernia this Sunday afternoon.  And the duathlon in the morning is a great event as well.

As a team captain, that is truly a class act!  Both riders are to be commended for their outstanding sportsmanship.

Was it the rider with an arm in a sling at the medical tent?

just want to pass on the unmentioned winners of the day,
Bill Gentile (of Gretna Bikes) and especially Eric Krone (of Guy's
Racing)...
Basically, both men gave up their races (first race of the series, at
that) to help an injured rider in their own category.
Eric not only assessed my situation, but rode out the entire lap with
me. Thanks to the MASS & MAC family for their concern...see you at
French Creek!

James (and everyone),

 

I hope I can speak for all MASS race promoters in saying if a race is cancelled refunds (less BikeReg fees) will be issued.  I can’t imagine it any other way.  I will confirm that that is the case for anyone using pre-registration for their race.

Hi John,

 

Since Bikereg is becoming such a large part of the MASS and pre-registering is highly recommended, it would be comforting to know that all of the events accepting rep-registration would also have a policy of refunding race entries in the event the event is cancelled due to rain, weather, etc.   I have registered for events in the past that were cancelled due to rain (not a MASS event) and entry fees were not refunded.  It left a bitter taste in my mouth and I have avoided this promotors events ever since.  It is one thing if I pre-register and then I am unable to go, but a whole 'nother animal if the event is cancelled due to rain.  

 

Cheers,

James Ambagis

Good question Mark,

In most cases when pre-reg is available there will be an additional $10 day
of charge. And in those cases we have to close pre-reg Weds night because
the promoter has to get pre-reg data to the timing company and he needs a
day to assign new plate numbers then he has to send the data back to me and
the promoter Friday and I have to sort out plates and the promoter has to
print waivers and registration spreadsheets. It's really quite a process
but that is what it takes. And our timing companies have proven to do a
great job so we know the process works.

Thanks,

John

April 19th! Mark you calenders for a great cause and a day of riding
sweet trails. The Rally is basically our annual fund raiser to help
us maintain the trails in Wiss and promote positive bike vibes to the
powers to be, so please come out and show your support. All proceeds
go right back into the sweet trails. We are having a raffle to give
away some nice swag thanks to the support of our local bike shops,
including complete bikes. A free BBQ and if it rains we're just going
to eat under the tents and raffle off the prizes anyway.

There will be three marked courses for intro, intermediate, and
expert riders. We're also going have guided rides and something for
the kids to ride at registration. There is also going to be a girls
ride, minus the smelly dudes. For more details please check out our
site, were we also have a forum. http://www.phillymtb.com

Thanks

Racers,

 

If you are racing the Bike Line race this Sunday there are a couple important things to mention. First if you are not registered for the series please do so by 5PM this Wednesday if you want your Bike Line race results to count in the series. I have to download all series racer data Weds at 5PM to send to the timing company for number plate assignment.

Same goes for pre-reg for the Bike Line race. If you want to save $10 you must be registered by whatever time on Weds their registration closes. Check BikeReg for the exact time.

Series races can pick up number plates for all classes they registered for at the Bike Line race. Pease allow extra time for this and make sure you tell the registration person if you have plates for multiple classes, including the endurance classes. And please be patient, it's going to be a busy registration since it is the first race.

I have ridden the course and it is great. Your bike wants you to come out and race this race.

Thanks,
John

 

Is the course marked?

Anyone know how wet (or dry) the Marysville relay course is/or will be
for tomorrow?

Thanks.

Promoters are getting set for the relay this weekend and are trying to
asses if a kids race will be in order.

Please go to the forums (link below) and let us know if you will have
kids there to race.
