JohnnyReggae Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 The Oak Valley 24hr is this coming weekend. My first race since the SSWC in 2012. Feeling quite apprehensive about it as it will be a lot tougher than the SSWC, which already for me was hard. Team OddWheel representing the 1 wheelers (1 girl, 3 guys) See the you guys on the trails. We promise we'll make every effort to move out of your way where possible
Wolfie1 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I will be taking all my tools so if anybody has any issue feel free to pop in. We will be team gears and beers under the ice models kazeebo See you there. We cant wait.!!!

We promise we'll make every effort to move out of your way where possible I'd enter just to watch a uniwheeler going up those climbs, as well as coming down. I hope there will be Go-Pro footage!
dev null Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Will be there as support crew for a school team. Will be a loooong night of getting young men to leave their warm sleeping bags and tackle yet another lap.
dev null Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I see there are some light rain predicted. Might get really interesting.
Epic Rookie Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 First one and it should be interesting either way, looking forward to it!
JohnnyReggae Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Johnny Reggae you guys are a special kind of crazy!lol ... I think I'm the sane one I'd enter just to watch a uniwheeler going up those climbs, as well as coming down. I hope there will be Go-Pro footage!GirleeRyder, the female member of our Team has a Go-Pro. So you may see some footage. As for the climbs, I may well be walking some of them but will definitely be pushing myself to ride as much as I possibly can. The other riders in the team are stronger hill climbers than me, so I'm expecting them to do quite well actually. Going down is where the fun is Not sure what the course is going to be like but am hoping that there will be some technical downhill sections to keep it interesting.
dirtypot Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I see there are some light rain predicted. Might get really interesting. There was light rain in the middle of the night last year, which I quite enjoyed
Hairy Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Really sorry to be missing this event, it is usually just flipping brilliant. Buttttt .... if someone has to pull out at the last minute and they are willing to donate their entry I would happily take it
Marius Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I'm sure there might be a few entries becoming available if the weather predictions worsen Hairy!
Smurfy Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I'm sure there might be a few entries becoming available if the weather predictions worsen Hairy!Not that your hair will get wet.(Bleskoppie)
