Team Wrong Way
June 8, 2006 — USA Cycling today confirmed that the Bigfoot Classic in Arcata, CA is now a sanctioned NORBA event. Along with their permit this event has been designated a cross country and downhill qualifier for the 2006 USA Cycling MTB National Championships to be hosted by the Infineon Technologies Cougar Mountain Classic at Sonoma, CA's Infineon Raceway, July 13 - 16, 2006.
The top 15 positions in each category will qualify to race at the National Championships.
Northern Californian riders now have the opportunity to qualify close to home, which they have been asking for. The Bigfoot Classic's website has full information on these two races. The cross country will be held on 7/1/06 and the downhill will be held on 7/2/06.

Cool maybe I have a chance then - wait, I haven't finished top 15 in quite some time. Of course, this venue is in freakin' Timbuk2, so maybe there would only be 15 in a class... hmm... too bad the Nats venue/course sucks donkey. Not worth my money even if I were to qualify.

Low? To use the word "low" would suggest that there are people actually registering.
They scraping the bottom of the barrel just toget people to show up. They sent me a "You Qualified" email and I haven't done a MTB race since Mammoth last year.
Must be MAGIC!
