I was planning on it. The BS seemed to have more grip at Dixon, so if Davis has lost some grip they might work well.

That's what I was thinking. I was contemplating going and practicing. I have not been to Davis in quite awhile. And with the new surface, practice could help keep me from embarrassing myself. Especially when I am rock climbing on the 29th, the day before the race.

Ron, let me know when you are thinking of getting some laps in. First of all I will have to take some pictures to prove that you were actually practicing  Also heard some interesting and bad things about the new surface at Davis. Need to see for my self what its like I as also going to run some Bridgrstones for this race |

Need to see for my self what its like I as also going to run some Bridgrstones for this race I heard many things, most not good, about how slick the track will be. that is the only reason I was thinking of practicing. I, however, do not want to buy a set of BS just for practice. that being said, if I practice with Hoosier, it may not provide me any information because I then would have to race BS. I am thinking of Sunday. Tomorrow the boys and I are going to head to Lovers Leap with a group from Santa Rosa. We will camp and then climb Saturday (top rope and maybe a single pitch practice). |

Needless to say, I did NOT practice. I do, however, have tires being delivered today. The question is whether or not I have the physical ability to race on Sunday. I am scheduled to attend an all day climbing clinic on Saturday from 8-5 in Donner. I may not be able to move, let alone race.

I may not be able to move, let alone race. Maybe it is just me, but, isn't this how Ron always prefaces whether he will be racing or not?  I know, I know, shut up Brad. See you guys on Sunday. |

It's looking like I will be an arrive and drive on Sunday as some things have come up that I need to do on Saturday.
Track surface I have never raced on, switching to Bridgestone tires, what could possibly go wrong ?
Good to hear you're coming out Brad. See you Sunday !!

That way if it turns out okay I can be surprised and happy. If I think how great it will be I may be disappointed if it turns out to be a bad driving day. |

Sorry I missed the race. I was over the top exhausted and sore. We had a longer day than was expected hiking to the different locations and climbing. I was out for 14 hours, several hours longer than expected. What are the results of the race?
