I'm dreaming of a white MČRSS!

So time has come once again, we are in December already and dreaming of MČRSS 2012!

As we mentioned earlier, the race moves this year just into western Bohemia and the mini-village of Řeřichy - Why? - Because we have a small base there (a family chata), it's a nice area, and lastly because it is almost impossible for non-Czechs to pronounce... 




In short: We meet on the 15th of December at around 11:00 at our little house in the village of Řeřichy. Because nobody, not even the locals know exactly where it is, we'll hang a flag on our fence, which when passing through the village you actually can't miss. (We are actually just the second house from the northern edge of the village.) The track will be announced as usual, just before the start, but can be previewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QlXH6hpuVc and for those who struggled in the past with Cory's precise markings, this time it will not be so meandering, but a relatively regular loop - or two :)
It looks like the mud should be mostly frozen over, and we might even get a little taste of snow! :)


As always, we will start on time and if you are late, you'll have to catch us on the track! :) The race is now scheduled for 13:00. Our estimate: greyhounds will finish in 60-90 minutes, normal people in about two hours or so. If it is really cold (it probably will be), riding the second loop might only be required by those riders in the leading positions - so that they deserve a win ....


Řeřichy is in the valley, but there can be some good winds, the weather is similar to Vysočina. In the surrounding woods, where we'll mostly ride it is slightly warmer, but even so, take both warm pants and clothes!


Beside the little house, which we will use to escape the cold, there could also be tents for any people that want to stay with us through Sunday, or if you will be less adventurous you can just sleep inside the chata with us where it will be toasty!
Anyway grandmother Jana promised to cook stew for everyone, and some sausage will also found, plus something tea to drink and beer too will be around!

A last reminder:
It is a MTB event in the forest, it is NOT anything of an official action. You do ride at your own risk, so be careful, don't need to overdo your power and just enjoy it :)

Let us know who is coming and who wants to stay with us in the chata, and we will make sure to have plenty of tea, gulaš, and warm blankets.
And don't worry, between the campfire in the yard and the fire in the stove, everyone will have no problem warming up after the ride.
Plus as always, presents for everyone who comes out to ride.


Thanks from Cory and Veronika, your faithful Praguer Singlespeeders.
See you soon!
