That's about what I use, too.

Performance Bike shops are everywhere and usually have the best bang for the buck selection.

If they aren't too strict about it I'll wear my Mt Bike gloves and bring the motorcycle gloves as back up.

Intermediate.

I really don't think they care about gloves, it's prolly CYA.

Decay107 · 10-01-2014, 01:52 PM

I'll probably be doing Intermediate.
That advanced group gets too many waving black flags!

digital_assassin · 10-01-2014, 01:52 PM

BRZPDX · 10-01-2014, 02:09 PM

Last year they let us switch at the track if desired. Otherwise, there's a link to contact the Registrar somewhere in your confirmation email and could make the switch there. Should be easy.

Decay107 · 10-01-2014, 02:21 PM

Well, weekend looks perfect so I'm signed up. Intermediate group.

torqdork · 10-01-2014, 02:26 PM

Five twins registered now including Doug, I think all of us running Intermediate. We'll need to get someone out there (Michael? Josh?) taking pics. Last year there was a pro there who took great shots and gave permission to edit and distribute for only $5.

Speaking of that, besides T12 pics taken from the lower stands, another spot is T3 chicane exit shooting through a rectangular hole in the fence bordered with orange tape. A long tele and lots of pixels would help there.

Pro shot of Jon and I through T10:

Good photos would be awesome. I would even let someone shoot with my Canon 5D Mark III paired with a 400mm lens. Really good camera and will take excellent photos on cruise control.

This must be a new PNW record of six twins running at the same event. It's gonna be a great day and Kevin's canopy will be a popular place.
