GEARING

Just to anticipate the infamouns "gearing question" is my care to suggest something about gearing both for the saturday rides and for the sunday race.

I usually use a 34x19 and with it I can clear almost every climb, keeping a little bit of agility for a long uphill, that is not so bad!

If you are well trained you can give a try with a 34x18 or equivalent.

This "gearing tips" will be good for the saturday ride.

For the sunday event I think it will be a good idea to add 1 or 2 teeth on the rear.

There is only one hard climb but i suggest to prefer agility (especially if your shape is not very good..as mine for example!) cause this hard uphill is...how can i say..hard!

I will ride a 34x20 or maybe 21.

As  already said, if you ride a lot you can use the same gearing for the two days and you can't go wrong.

What i want to say that this is not a 32x16 singlespeed ride.

But don't be scared, you'll love the trail cause is challenging in the right way, that's why i love it!

MEETING POINT

This is a little map that pretends to show you how to reach the meeting point of the ESSC08.
From here the saturday morning big ride will start, here on saturday night we will keep on hurting ourselves with some food and beverage and music and....everything else!
And blah blah blah...

@ WORK

Hi guys.

Things are going on, step by step we are tryin' to plan things just to make a funny weekend for you all.

In the past week there was the first contact with the race course: we are studing some new trails just to give you a funny "race".

On the other and more important side, we are working on the menù for the saturday dinner and post race lunch.

You will enjoy our goodnees, i am sure you will like it! :-)

Next week we are plannig to ride on the trails of the saturday "big ride".

As we already said there will be two different rides.

An easier and shorter ride with lot of terrous singletrack and one much longer with a long hard rocky downhill.

Both will be funny loop with nice landscapes, with mountains on one side and the sea on the other.

Soon we will post some pics!

Stay tuned!
