Eastern States Cup Finals

Wow what a weekend. 10.10.10 Eastern States Cup Finals at Plattekill Mt Roxbury, NY was all about beers and podiums for DR. Oliver took second in the Pro ranks for the series and 7th on the day w/ a mech.
Drummer Racing owned the Cat 1 box with Sam taking the win and series title and Jack placing 2nd on the day and 4th in the series.
TJ placed 3rd for the series in Cat 3. Yeah TJ!!
Mer smoked the competition by 30 seconds in her race for the win (and did not fall either days ) and took 3rd in the series. In retrospect. 2010 was one of the team's most successful years to date.
One race left and its the important one.

Whiteface

Bikes are getting fixed as Sam Jack and Zach all have some serious wrenching to do.
Whiteface is on the way up this weekend. Course is long and jarring. We did our homework on Saturday, then ripped Killington on Sunday. RESULTS http://www.allsportsevents.com/Results/mountain_bike_results/GES2010/Whiteface2010.html It rained slightly before finals on Sunday. It didn't really disturb the course that much. Sick sick weekend. On to Plattekill for NY STATE CHAMPS!

What a Weekend

This is the e-mail my girlfriend's dad (fellow rider) sent me after seeing our antics at Windham.... Sammy, So, UCI dh World Cup (finals, no less) comes to the east coast, Windham Mt.. A chance in a life-time. Right? Proper track, great weather, nice digs. Where were the hoards of high black sock/Five Ten/flat brim wearin', dh east coasters? Thank god Nicolas Vouilloz (The Almighty) wasn't there to see the lack of insanity. Europe anyone? But, wait. To fill the road gap and more... Enter the Drummer Racing Band of Gypsies. A jammin' 110 decible boom box, vuvuzela, whistle keepin' the flow, Old Glory on a stick and a rag-tag bunch degenerates (or dh'ers, hard to tell) letting the crowd know what's up. (Want some, get some, bad enough, ......) On their way down the mountain, they gave the crowd a reminder of how a dh crowd should misbehave. Good form boys! Thanks for the effort. Old Man

Drummer Racing and company will be making a total ruckus at the World Cup Championship in Windham, NY this weekend. Compound, check. Coolers, check. Cowbells, check. Custom Drummer Racing flag, check. Place your bets (on who will win, or on who will pass out with their shoes and sunglasses still on).

Plattekill

The compound is headed out to the catskill mountains tomorrow night. Oliver and I both sit in 2nd in the ESC in our respective meows (categories). The weather looks really good and the mountain should be dry. The course wasn't photographed so I don't know what it will include. It will be a nice surprise. RACE REPORT http://live-timing.com/race2.php?r=20147&u=60 The course was a mix of 2009 GES with a different finish that traversed back left of the POC road gap. Super low turn out = no lift line. It was fast on Saturday and pretty dry with everyone taking some big stacks in practice. Then it rained for 10 hours. It was cold and windy at the top on sunday with lots of fog. Finally got some more box but my run didn't feel like it.
