Hey everyone, anybody excited about the May 15th opening of the trails? I for one, cannot wait to get out there and ride them again. The trails at Mohican were SWEEEEETTTT this past weekend ;D
Anybody going to do the WB Xterra for the first time? I love this race!

Hey Tim, I will do the Xterra race for the second year in a row. I also look forward to training on the trail soon. Hope to see you out there.

I'm thinking of doing the West Branch Xterra. How difficult is the race course?

It's not that bad, my son and I raced it last year after only being on the trails the Thursday before the race. The race was the second time on the MTB last year.

Craig, I would highly reccomend you get out there for a pre-ride. There are a few narrow bridges that come up on you pretty quick, if you aren't ready for them you could go off the edge. I struggle in the rock section every time too, so I think it's best if you know what you're getting yourself into ahead of time.

I agree with Chuck, West branch is my least favorite place to MTB. There are loads of rocks, roots, and it's just tough. Go out and ride there Craig. I'm sure with a bit of practice you'll do great. Just don't wait until race day.
Good luck, Stephe
