Tailwind Racing Addison Oaks Retreat May 19/20

[almostolen]

usually nothing to do but talk to other racers and prep yourself for the next race.

Is there anything to do in the area between races?
It looks like the TT is one lap in the morning (~10 am) and then the STXC around 2, so there should be ~2-3 hours to kill.

Just wondering. I may just chill under the canopy as well.

Not really it's a good 20 minutes to anything from Addison. If it was in the fall you could go apple picking but I think you're just gonna chill.

The S&M Market is only a few minutes away.

Thanks. Although S&M really isn't my thing.
I will just pack a lunch and play by ear. Maybe bring my swim trunks...

Of all the times I've gone there only once was it worth hanging out. Great spot to grab a 6 pack, or hot dogs to grill if your not picky, not a destination though.

I'm registered for the Sport XC race on Sunday. This is my first XC race with Tailwind, and I am a bit confused about how the Sport/Beginner start will be handled. All of the Sport/Beginner races are listed as starting at 1:00. Is this going to be a mass start, or are we starting in age group waves? I assume that at the least the Sport racers will start before Beginners, but it really isn't clear. Can anyone explain how the start will happen?

@ WIll_Ott The races start a few minutes between each A.G. category / class. It is not a mass start for Beg/Sport. They announce your group and line you up accordingly. Good luck... have some fun!

Thanks, that was what I was hoping for!

The course is "dialed!"

[almostolen]

not sure about "dialed" I was out there this morning and there were still some slick greasy spots on the course. the trail also need a little attention to face slappers and low branches.

It's a mountain bike race, in the woods, on dirt, and rocks, and roots.

I'm hoping to get out there tomorrow afternoon to do a bit of trimming. I'm not sure if I can get it all paved by race time, though.

...I think registration is closed on the website, so is there by chance sign up in person for just day 2 XC? Cost?

And also, I've never done a race on a singlespeed, but is there a category for SS in this race? If so, how many laps?

Thanks, any info is appreciated.

www.tailwind-racing.com will have your answers, but in short; "Yes." And..."Depends one what single speed class you do."
