I'm looking for a partner for my third TRC. I ride long, hard days though I'm not interested in fast times. I'm seasoned at competitive riding and even did two 24 hour solo events this spring. I'm from San Diego and do training rides in Park City and Oregon. If you are interested in a serious but laid back approach to this year's TRC, please give me an e-mail or a call.

I'm not to sure what I am capable of, but I am in decent all year round shape. I road all winter without brakes so my balance is pretty good.

I can handle riding all day, just at what pace i'm not sure. maybe e-mail me back with some standards I can work with, since youv'e already road the course twice. Then I can give you a better idea. I only have a cell phone so I don't want to phone just yet. More road oriented, but off road downhill a little more practice. Not yous'd to counter weighted rocket jumps or anything over three feet and drops over a metre need to have a look first. I didn't know anyone was going to use my e-mail, I apoligize for such a late reply.

I live in Canada, British Columbia so I don't know what the time difference is. Place reply e-mail or post reply under my post A.S.A.P as spots are running short sorry for late reply

Thank-you

Hey Ken,

Just thought I'd through my hat into the ring as well. I'm from Calgary and do most of my riding in the Bragg Creek/Kannanaskis area (which is a complete washout at the moment). As this is my first, of hopefully many, TRs I'm really not entirely sure what to expect. My goals for this one are 1) to enjoy myself and 2) finish! (If there happens to be teams behind mine at the end then that'll be a nice bonus..)

I've got a posting in the Singles Bar section as well. If you'd like to chat further I can be emailed here: mountainbike4ever@hotmail.com.

Thx,

Dan
