Wanted to ask (if anyone knows) how will you stage the short track races?

The race is on for week two!  Races start at 6:15pm at the WWC.  Come out, put a number on it and test yourself on your favorite trails.

Hey man, don't know if your short track questions ever got answered.  You will probably have more luck getting it answered by emailing Neal Boyd who runs the summer series.  Great guy who has been running almost all of our local races for quite a number of years neal@s2fcharlotte.com

Or you could message the summer mtb series facebook page.

meh, wasnt that important, just was curious to see how it would be handled from a timing/starting wave situation on a short course!

i'm trying to see if i can get out to WWC tonight but man, trying to figure out how to put kid to bed at 8 and race at 630... seems almost impossible.

So trail status on usnwc.org shows Trails Closed. So, if I want to ride there tonight, I need to sign up to race?

It was fine for the race last night.  Can't see that it'd be any worse today.  Go ride!!

Couldn't make it out last night myself. How were the trail conditions? USNWC website is still showing Trails Closed. Wonder if there's a chance they'll open up to the non-racing public tonight.

they were greasy mostly in the corners, nothing too damaging in my eyes. not sure how the rest of the trails that we didn't go on fair, but the ones we raced i thought were good to go!

I rode the Lake Loop as a warm-up and there were lots of branches down. I would imagine they are probably trying to get all of the trails clear.  Two days of soaking rain and then wind makes for messy trails.  I would imagine it takes awhile to check, clear and then open 30 miles of trail.

North Meck is next up next week!  If I'm not doing trail work some where I may come out just to watch the single speed battle.

Actually a Wed night race may do your legs more good than bad.  They will recover stronger by the time you race on the weekend.  The Single Speed class is NOT dead.  The whole series will die, (just like the road races) if don't take part when we can.  Then all we will have is solo riding against Strava.  Where's the fun in that? 

Come out and race when you can, or they will disappear!

Event #4 in 2 weeks will be at Renaissance Park. It will be XC not short track. Have never ridden there. There 2 different trails. Does anyone know the course used for the XC version?

Unless they changed it this year...   They use both trails for the xc races.  Start on the fire road below entrance to volleyball loop, make sharp left onto volleyball loop, come back around and up that fire road again.  Then down the back edge of the parking lot to the entrance to the short track.  Instead of just the short track, they do all of the single track on the softball side, coming back up into the parking lot and back down the back of the lot to finish line in parking lot just before the entrance to the volleyball loop.
