Rocky is about 45 min. west of red deer on # 11. The dump is the third left after you cross the North Sask. river.You follow the lease road in you will see the trails all over the place. I might go check it out on Friday.

Also, I think Vega would be a good place to have an XC race, I was out there last year when some dirtbikers were having one. there is no set course obviously but I think we could figure one out.

well as far as i know this is all hypothetical right now, trying i guess, to see how many people would be interested. there seems to be a good number, so that is i guess step 1, step 2 i guess would be to find a place suitable, does anyone know if there is any rules for marking out a track other than making sure to remove all the markers after? not sure but i guess a third step might be to have some basic rules to keep everything civil?
no matter what this will be just an informal race for everyone to have some fun etc.
for my part, i wont be ready for another month yet, before this economy blow out i had a sweet deal, there was a site pretty much across the street from where i live! no gas, parking, driving etc to worry about. thats pretty sweet. oh well. i think maybe ill try to get a part time job till some construction starts again. ei now allows you to make, i think, 600bucks extra without penalty.
that dont mean that everyone else cant get together though! id sure like to read about some fun race stories etc.
anyone have any ideas how to get this going more? maybe another thread to poll who is down for this and where to go? anyone, feel free to run with this.

I'd be interested in a novice class (new rider). I have a 350 Banshee with a few mods. I'm also sure my son would like to come out.

never mind. I just realized this thread was dug up from the dead. It would be great to have XC racing though. I guess I'll have to stud my tires and try ice racing this cold a** winter.

Im sure if people were interested we could set something up in august. I know we are spending 5 days in vega and there are a lot of hare scrambles out there. Could follow their markings even...

I know this was a thread from the past, but according to all the posts with interested in XC racing there are enough people to get a event like this going with out a doubt. As i am only new to the area i dont know any of the above mentioned riding areas. But if somone with more knowledge of the areas, and in a better position to get something like this on the go then i think it would be a success.

well ill be in vega (about 90 mins from edmonton) from the aug 12-15th (thurs to sun)Campin and riding. If theres interest im sure we could set something up for sat. Lots of ground to cover, great camping spots and not that far from edmonton. I throw up a thread with map and some info and go from there i guess.

I got a feeling that would be to quick for a lot of people. I would say there are alot of people that eirther have to work or have plans at that time already. Late August to early September would seem a reasonable amount of time for people interested to plan for something like this? Anyone have imput on this, seems to only be Ushkie, drewski and myslef still interested.
