Hemlock BC cup

Seeing as its the firstBC cup race, might as well start a thread for it.
How is the course as this is the first time I will be there, fast, technical, how's the dirt etc.? Fastest times from last year? Who's goin?

I'll be there, and every other BC Cup too.

I was there 3 years ago, for the first year the course was cut, so I'm probably not very much help to you. I don't think there's much pedalling and there's plenty opportunity to get in trouble if you let it go too much (but maybe I'm just a pussy).

no garbonzo this year, (but i'm not highjacking this thread)

hemlock will look very different this year. the snow hasn't even fully melted away yet so the course will be wet, rocky and super fun.
should be a great race but i'm noe expecting a course record.

oh ya, accomodations are limited so if you plan on getting a place, book early.

don't worry about no garbonzo DH. like everything whistler, crankworx will be bigger, badder, and the most cutting edge event on the planet.

plenty of surprises in store.

not sure about lift access on friday for hemlock, but all day saturday for sure.
