This morning the MtnBikeRiders.com crew headed out to the Mt Sac trail to pre-ride the course for tomorrow’s race. When we got there the trail wasn’t marked and since this venue is actually at a college, most of the access to the rest of the trails were closed.
We eventually caught up with the SC Velo guys who were marking up the path. We followed them like a shadow to get a feel for what the racers will have to deal with tomorrow. As usual, I brought out the camera to take shots of our riders.
We also just got our gear from Ergon USA. They provided the Team a set of BD-1 Team back packs and grips. Here’s Eric (single speed phenom) and Priscilla with their new goods.
Here’s Priscilla’s new GX1 Ergon Grips.
Here’s the first climb.
It was kinda frustrating dealing with some of the ungroomed single track…

Check out this picture that was next to the trail…
Tomorrow should be a great race, the whole team will be there. We’ll post our race reports soon enough, wish us luck!
Those BD-1 packs should be great for racing — stable and secure as can be but without too much room (they force you to pack light!).
