Anyone heading to Pano this month for the BC cup?

[Lady Gravity]

when is it? i've heard the riding there is kickass

[Kerensa]

I think I am going to come and race !! I did last year and had fun..
I like that course !! although it is a little tricky in spots - I love the top part - but the cliffs of insanity (or the rolling rocks of tranquility which is what I renamed them) scare me a little)

are you going?

[cheryl@nsmb.com]

Considering it, I had so much fun at the Ratrace and the ladies were so nice it made me think I may want to go. Just wondering whom else was thinking about it. I love bumping into NSMB girls at events!

the riding is totally kickass - I love it there - it is steep and rocky and fun !!!

[caitlin]

when you call it rocky - do you mean rocky like before you moved to ontario and saw what rocky really meant? :) I still remember how terrified you were ... it makes me smile (not because you were scared but because of how shocked you were about what we ride out here)

[Kerensa]

yeppers - pano has parts that are everybit as tech and rocky and steep as bromont and fortune - its Leighs favorite mountain cause it reminds him of home -

glad I am so amusing to you :-) I will never forget that first time off of the chair lift at fortune and all there was was steep rock faces - eek... and I asked you guys where the easy way down was and everyone said you are looking at it... hehhe

I certainly had never seen rock like that - up north here in PG and in Williams Lake rock is hard to find - most of the riding is pretty smooth and fast (that is why they build so many big stunts to keep it interesting)- funny thing is now it is the rocky tech races and trails that I like the best... my time out east was good for me
- at Tabor our local mountain here there are a few "rock gardens" that freak otherwise amazing riders out - that just seems funny to me now...

Hey you guys are scaring me off! I am from Kamloops, land of the smooth.

[Kerensa]

sorry Cheryl - don't listen to us!!- the race course is really fun - it has the funnest begining to any course ever (you hit this little bump and then you are in the air forever because the trail just drops away - the top is super smooth and fun - Caitlin is just making fun of me (and with good reason) I have only been there for the race weekend last year - I tried to ride as much of the mountain as I could - I am excited to go back this year and see the rest.

[cheryl@nsmb.com]

Oh ok! Thanks, I haven't riden once in about a month. So not sure about scary rock stuff!

I remember landing on a big rock in sunpeaks a few years ago... It didn't feel too smooth then:S

[cheryl@nsmb.com]

Hahaha! Be careful of rocks at Sunpeaks! They move around.
When are you coming out here to dance with me?

[stacy kohut]

race it!!!!

[Wayne P]

Cheryl, there is a rock shute section that'll scare the jesus out of anyone, depending on how fast you're going of course. At slow speeds its totally manageable though. Love it - one of my all time favourite courses.

[caitlin]

GAH - I want to ride so bad - stupid ankle ... road riding started on Friday though - first time on a bike in almost 9 weeks ... another month before I'm allowed downhilling ... can someone make the next month go uber fast?

[Wayne P]

9 weeks? Try 8 months, perfectly healthy. Well, at least I have a dirtbike now.

[cheryl@nsmb.com]

I saw it. It's sicktor!

[caitlin]

Wayne - what did you do? mmmmmmmmmmmm dirt bike - what do you have? I rode a KTM 125 when I was in Europe and now I really really want one - just doesn't make sense living in Ottawa (and I don't own a car)... I figure when I stop downhilling I'll start dirt biking! :)

[Wayne P]

Uhhh...triplets might cause someone not to ride very much.

'06 YZF250 is what I bought.

[caitlin]

Triplets

Holy Crap

[Kerensa]

I can't make it - I am out.....

When is the next race? is is whistler? I definately need to make it to a couple this summer...

[Kerensa]

hey Cheryl,
did you go?? how was it??

[cheryl@nsmb.com]

I was sick and couldn't make it. Decided to opt out and get better.
Had a nice weekend anyways.
