Good news is the rain stopped Thursday overnight! It should just be a bit soft and some spots muddy. I am hoping not to have to dab too much but luckily I find Time Cleats shed mud better than any of the others I have used. I am also hoping the sun that is out today stays out for the race but I will definitely be using your tips for the roots!

Becky - I run a Maxxis Ignitor Up front and Maxxis Cross Mark in the Rear. I use Rock n' Roll Gold Lube and lube the chain every ride.

Speedy - I already run a fairly low pressure on my 29er since most courses here are rocky and it makes a plusher ride. I run them at 25psi, I am hoping it is low enough. Last week I pre-rode the course and it was tacky, my bike was cornering like a champ and I am a pretty bad at cornering.
