Hi Trigirl,

It is almost impossible to pass on singletack. The general rule of thumb is that you have to wait until you see an opening.

If I am coming up on someone from a distance, I give a shout on yer left or right to let them know that I am there. People that are expereinced will ease over as much as possible to try to give you an opening. Inexperience people will usually panic and stop, usually in the middle of a hill.


If I am being pass, I do my best to get over, but often the dude has to wait. I am NOT pulling over during a race.

Usually everyone is really nice about it. Last year I had two guys that did everything they could to not let me by. They did not want to get passes by a girl.

Just an observation. By the time you get to the bike, everyone should be spaced out pretty well.

Have you raced a mt bike before?
