Campmor H2H Race #4, The 15th Annual Bulldog Rump

[jontotman]

I asked one of our friends from NJ about KVSP race course and here is his response.

Here is what I found out last night and posted in my thread, probable a good idea to post it here too.

Got the low down on the race:

Same course as last years expert race with two changes. One is at the start where we will no longer be making making that quick left into the ST. Now we go over the hill, down the gravel road and making the 2nd left. The second change is the addition of the white trail. After the horseshoe (windy single track at the bottom of the course) You then climb up, around then down....Then back up a fire road and enter the white trail on your left. Its maybe a 5 or so minute section that is winding, but slow since its mostly uphill. Nothing that will require dismounting. Only thing is that its pretty strewn with jagged sharp rocks. Worse then the usual jagged KSVP fangs.


also I was told 2 laps for sport, 3 laps for expert. So this should be a short race.

When we pre-rode the race course last Monday we included the white trail on our last lap and all I can say about the white trail is go in there quick coz it's very tight and technical and no where to pass and most probably that section will be a bottle neck. Oh yeah, did i mention SHARP ROCKS!!!

Good news is only 1 lap for CAT 3 and only 2 laps for CAT 2.

Thanks Jon, so that guy this morning was right about 1 lap for cat 3. What do you mean by white trail? Those black square marks with white small square inside painted on the trees?

[jusluv2bike]

cat3 only 1 lap? is this good or bad? i think 2 laps would have been better!!! it comes out to $10 per lap that way. lol

Well I think instead of just riding a 5 mile loop they will make it longer (7-8 miles per lap) I dunno if you remember the one we did on our last lap, we did the white trail where we follow moe and the GPS guy on the other side. That trail will be included in the race course, fun but very tight and technical.

Just signed up and wish all the tribesmen Good Luck this Sunday.

Don't worry jusluv2bike if winning is your goal those 7 or 8 miles of racing will burn your lungs and legs. ;D Trust me. ;D

Sorry Rob DFL spot is already taken by me.

Try to be there by 7:00-7:30 AM so there's no line yet when you get your bib number and you still have time, if you want to warm up. See you there with LeftyJeckyl and good luck on your first race.

[jusluv2bike]

are we allowed to ride the race course after we pick up our packet? what time can we pick up our bib and number?

Yes, everyone are allowed to ride the race course ( before, during and after) even if you are not racing you can still ride the race course. Just be mindful if anyone riding the course during the race but you are not racing, stop on the side and let the racers pass by.

You can pick up the race packet as early as they set up, usually around 7AM I will try to be there before 7 AM on Sunday.

I'll bring donuts Jon, some water and plastic cups.
