Brownie Crit Results September 4, 2008

Great Crit Course with a gravel road climb to the fire road and then a ripping descent, all to do it again!!
5 laps of pain felt great. Some of our normal fast guys and gals were not on top form after that SM100 thing this weekend.

Brownie Crit Results 4/16

This was the most unique Crit I have ever been a part of.
We have had Super D,
we have done Pseudo D,
we have done TT,
we have done lots of Mass start.....but never have I been a part of a course with multiple ability level routes and shortcuts on it for the differing categories....a form of a handicapped event....as a mass start.......

We managed to set up a course where it was a common loop with off shoots (or shortcuts) to change the length and technical aspects of the course...
The loops were approx.
Beginner 1.5 miles
Sport 2.0 miles
Expert 2.5 Miles.
The Beginner loop had a few small technical sections, a solid climb, and a smoother descent.
Sport had a couple of technical descents and rock gardens on it.
The Expert loop had an additional climb and a loose downhill that was not on the other courses.

What made this super cool was that as you left the main course onto your own "ability level course" you would be riding with certain beginner or sport riders, and when you came back onto the main course again, the same Sport and Beginner riders that you were riding with before would be with you again. It made for passing the same racers 4 or more times in a 3 lap event.

Placings were as follows....I think.
Some of these may be way off....In fact Alec may have won.....or maybe Esther.....who knows really.
Good thing there was no money on this one.

(e)=expert course
(s)= sport course
(b)= beginner course

1st- Shawn (e)
2nd Kyle (e)
3rd Cyrus (s)
4th Dan (s)
5th Dave T. (e)
6th Alec (s)
7th Jason (s)
8th Kevin (e)
9th Carrey (b)
10th Denelle (s)
11th Jesse (s)
12th Nolan (s)
13th Michele (s)
14th John (e)
15th Dave W. (e)
DNF Jeremy (e) Flatted twice.
Somehow I did not get a placing for Esther....but I think she did like 6 laps instead of 3.....not sure.

Awesome time everyone, Look forward to running this course again in the future.

Paranormal Preview Crit

What a great Brownie Crit that one turned out to be. The course is the same that will be used for the Paranormal race on October 20th with just one tiny reroute. We had a huge turn out, and everyone was psyched by how great the trails were. Times are listed below, this was roughly a 6.5 mile loop----I think. I flagged the single speeders that I knew of as well.

Brownie Crit Results 9/13

Last nights crit went great. Not a huge turn-out, but a group that was on the gas pretty strong. Here are a few pictures and the results from it. The pictures are sure not of "Buffalo-2-Step" Bill quality, but they are what I can do....at least with this camera. Speaking of that guy, Man are we gonna miss him in this area.

"Super D" Crit-James Wins Big

What a ride that was. Two full speed "Super D" style runs, no body armor, cross country bikes, lycra clad warriors. Suprisingly we had no crashes or chaos occur. Time adjustments were handed out to some individuals for a creative re-route they decided on. That is reflected by the + next to there Run 1 times. The Time adjustment was 1:30 to bring their run time back in line with the rest of the group, but really we should have just DQ'd them.
James killed us all, and Jeremy took 2nd on a rigid single speed (sicko).
Down Hill Diva Dennelle took the women's Cat with a bomber of a run as well. Thanks for coming out everyone, Look for some other alternative style courses in the coming weeks as well. (Cross, Short Track, Relays, who knows.)
