Sorry, just to clarify: the qualifying race on Saturday at 11am is at the location in Kent of the final Sunday race, right?
The qualifier on Saturday at 11am is at Schooner Exact in Seattle. Sunday is the only day with events taking place in Kent.
Glad to see the MFG schedule was adjusted to accomodate those wanting/needing to race both MFG and SSCXWC races.
Thanks!
will there be some group ride for spectators from seattle to kent and back?
There is always room for someone to start one….
word, pretty excited for that weekend. hope it stays dry…
given the urban setting for qualifiers on Saturday, are we supposed to be rolling cross bikes with cross tires or road tires…or straight up road bikes? Also, Saturday is a busy family day, what time do qualifiers “wrap” given the 11am start time? thanks a bunch!! Bobby
I hope it doesn’t stay dry.
You can ride from georgetown to kent on almost all bike lanes and bike path. The path makes up almost 80%. Plan on about 1.5 to 2 hours.
@Bobby- The bike used for the qualifier should be the same bike used for the race. That means a single speed cross bike.
As for “wrap” time- that all depends on you… Qualify in the main race and you can head on home to your family and a nice warm bed…boring…. If you don’t qualify in the main race, you can stick around and smash your fingers with a hammer for another shot at qualifying which will be going late into the evening. Other qualifying events may or may not include old time favorites such as dodge-rock, gay chicken, trainwreck darts, or scrabble.
So it’s an Alley Cat to qualify? We’re racing around the brewery?
Cross Cat- The city can be dirty too…
Do women have to qualify? What if we can’t make it Saturday?
If you can’t make the main qualifier there will be other second chance qualifiers saturday and the winner of the MFG SS race on sunday qualifies
“hope it stays dry” guy should be DQ’d for that comment. Sacrilege! I hope for flooding of biblical proportions. It would be awsome if we had to ford/swim parts of the course.
Cross Cat eh??? Sounds interesting. We won’t need messenger bags will we?
Make like Oregon Trail!
Weather: Cold
Mud Puddle Width: 42ft
Mud Puddle Depth: 5ft
You May:
1. Attempt to ford the puddle
2. Caulk bike and float it across
3. Wait to see if conditions improve
4. Build up some speed and skip across
What is your choice?
Can we pick our packet at Schooner Exact any time during the day after 9 AM on Saturday?
why are all you asking so many damn questions? show up saturday, qualify. show up sunday and race till you puke bacon. it’s going to rain, bring a poncho, and damnit…just do what the nice sasquatch says, you’ll be fine.
[...] The race will take place after the 4th MFG Cyclocross series race, at 3:30 pm Sunday 10-24-10, at Pacific Raceway. NOTE to all MFG racers the schedule is different from what your used to. Check race times, here. [...]
remember to read before asking it is all laid out for you. go with the flow and bring your paddles
so, where is this schedule for the qualifier start times on saturday?
