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

Thanks, John.  Will there be a $10.00 charge for race day entry for all the races in the Series?

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

I just took action to prevent the closure of many New Jersey state parks. Please
do the same!

While I'm not a NJ citizen, here's what I wrote.

=========================

I STRONGLY object to the planned closures for several New Jersey State Parks.
With the ever growing crisis of obesity, the continued land development, and the
lack of active recreation for New Jersey citizens of all ages, it is literally a
LIFE AND DEATH decision for the state and its residents, and these resources
quite seriously provide the health benefits that prevent a number of life
threatening conditions that are related to a lack of physical activity or
obesity.

At a minimum, please preserve Stephens State Park, Round Valley Recreation Area,
Ringwood State Park, and D&R Canal State Park, all of which provide active
recreation.

Of all of the places to cut budget, this is most certainly NOT one of them. 
There are HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars of waste in the state budget that are
used in needless spending to secure the re-election of state officials.

Also, there are alternatives to closure, such as usage fees, public/private
partnerships with user organizations, and other avenues to keep these facilities
open.

Just an fyi...

There is a slight technical glitch we are working on with the MASS website for
all of the standings...  Hope to have it resolved quickly.

(Posted on forums too - just trying to get to everyone.)

I know, I know, yinzers have probably been very happy that I've kept
my big yap shut so far this year but some news about the visitPA.com
Rocktober Challenge for you -

1.  Prereg gets more expensive on the 10th and then closes and then
gets absolutely ludicrous on race day.  Seriously, I'm a complete jerk
and am ripping you off on race day since you can't take time to
prereg.  So, take a couple minutes and go to bikereg.com to get signed up.

2.  The course is a wee bit longer than 100K.  More like one hundred
and eleventy K or there abouts.  There is a very small chance we'll
cut out a piece, but that would throw off the aid station plan and
we'd lose some of the stellar trail we've been working on for you.  If
you're coming you're already figuring on being out there all day long
anyway so this is just more of a good time.  Really I'm giving you
even more for your money!  You should so be thanking me.

3.  If you are planning on coming up you should know that the RB
Winter campground is rapidly filling up.  There are several other camp
grounds close to the venue and the closest hotels can be found in
Lewisburg which is about 25-30 min away.  visitPA.com should be able
to help you find alternate lodging.  By visitPA.com I don't mean Ray
or Wes or Mike or Ry but rather by visiting the website at
www.visitPA.com.  However, your best way to get directions to the race
is through our race site.

Please help spread the word to your team mates who don't have hours of
their lives to waste sitting in front of a computer chatting on the
MASS forums.

See you all at French Creek - do your anti-rain jig!

Attention French Creek Racers:

The forecast calls for 1 to 2 inches of rain at the Park on Friday,
but tapering off early in the day. The trails were bone dry yesterday
so we should have a well drained race course Saturday morning. To help
insure that the course is as dry as possible we have pushed back our
start times by one hour, with the exception of the Enduro class which
will now start at 9:30.

As of this point we are still on, keep your fingers crossed!

So the start times currently posted on bikereg are updated and accurate??

We are on for Saturday! The course will need a sweep in the morning
and some time to dry out so we have moved the start times back some.
Check www.bikereg.com for the new times.

See Ya!

A few last minute details regarding FC registration:

-  In case you haven't heard, all XC events have been pushed back 1
hour and the Endurance race now starts at 9:30AM.  The start times
listed on the Bikereg site
(http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=6134) are
accurate.

-  DO NOT FORGET YOUR NUMBER PLATE!  If you did not pick up your
number plate yet, we will give it to you at registration.  Endurance
number plates will be issued at registration to FC Endurance racers
only.

-  XC registration will open 2 hours prior to start and close approx.
30 minutes prior to start.  I suggest you get there as early as
possible.

-  Endurance registration will open at 8 and close 30 minutes prior to start.

-  Day of registration fee is $12 for juniors and $42 for everyone
else.  CASH ONLY!  Please bring the exact amount.  It will speed up
the process for everyone.

-  Day of racers can download, print, and fill out the required forms
at http://www.masuperseries.com/MASS2008/forms.html.  Series racers
only need to fill out the release and waiver form.  Non-series racers
will need to fill out the registration form and the release and waiver
form.  Forms will also be available at registration.

-  DO NOT FORGET YOUR NUMBER PLATE!

See you tomorrow.

Is everyone okay?? I'm sorry to send this out to everyone but I don't
have Kristin or Nikki's email and I just wanted to make sure they were
alright. I heard they were in a car accident right before the race.
People that saw the aftermath of the accident said that it looked like
everyone involved was standing outside the cars and looked to be
alright, but I just wanted to confirm. I also want to say that you
girls were missed in the race! If they're not on this listserv could
someone please pass the message along? Thanks so much,

Linda

So I'm standing around with some folks swapping war stories after FC
and they asked me to extend the deadline on the pre-pre-reg cost ($75)
for the race at RB Winter this weekend.  They'd been hearing some
great things about the course about how pristine the area is and how
challenging but fun the trails are but hadn't yet signed up on
Bikereg.com and wanted to.

Since I'm such a dang nice guy I said sure and went in there last
night and altered the up charge day and time so that the cost remains
$75 for prereg for a bit longer.  So, if you didn't yet sign up hurry
up and do so and you can still take advantage of the lower entry fee
cost.

BTW, the forecast for this weekend is a 30% chance of rain with high
around 65 on race day.

Also, some of the team is planning on hanging out Saturday night and
maybe catching a bit of trail on Sunday morning.  We'd be glad to have
you join us....if any of us actually feel like putting our butts on
saddles on Sunday!! Our man at Cannondale is talking about bringing
some of their new bikes out for some demo riding too.

Come on out and do a bit of camping and riding with us!

Sorry to spam the list, but others might have the same question.

Are series points being manipulated at the moment?  My points for Fair
Hill have dropped off the series totals, but I see that other racers
have both races counted.  I just wanted to know if someone is working
on the points and what we see is a result or if we should send
an "official" email to the series organizers.

John/Todd,

Any advice?

James Ambagis, Vet 2, MASS Racer 5401

We are working on some bugs in the standings reports...

Rest assured, we will have it resolved as soon as possible...  We will send an
email out once it is all up to date and everyone can verify their team and
individua points at that time.

Thanks for your patience...

Todd
