Univeristy just past the championship golf course. I dunno how to link the image from that bike website, but it is a half mile long, straight, and 5.6% grade. lets do time trials there.

If I were in NM I would vote for La Medera Rd.

That's just me though, my vote doesn't count. I'm over here in stupid Arizona...

Your vote does count. And I agree, it's not very steep, but it's long(ish) and a few good turns.

Timeship did time trials there a few years back. Check out their website, there is probably video. It's in the Tuck video as well. Not sure of speeds. One of the advantages to this hill and Rio Bravo ditch is we get a pretty good tailwind out here.

what are the specific locations of these places? having 2 events right by each other is looking better and better as next weeks venue.

Take I-25 south, get off on the Rio Bravo exit. Head west (right) for about 5 miles or so. After Coors, Rio Bravo turns into Dennis CHavez blvd or something, Keep going up the hill. Ditch is on the right, hill is straight ahead. Maybe email Joe Lehm about this hill. From what I have heard, it is NOT illegal to skate this hill or ditch. It's county property.

that makes this better. 2 races this weekend, first at the ditch, second at the hill. ditch race is free with points still awarded, the hill will be team time trials, $5 a person, so get reasy to shred, and find a buddy who can shred at your level. see you there.

Where on the ditch does the race start?

sloweyefasthand · 08-31-2008, 12:45 AM

How about you guys just dig up that amazing ditch and take it to Houston...

Needless to say, I'm jealous...

nyuklhed · 08-31-2008, 08:09 AM

hope you guys have fun today, sorry Tyrus and I couldn't make it to time trials to dominate...

I won't be skating for at least two weeks

bear · 08-31-2008, 08:16 AM

what did you do?

nyuklhed · 08-31-2008, 08:26 AM

ugh... if you read in the team abq thread....

dislocated my shoulder, and i had to go to the hospital, it ended up being out of the socket for about and hour or so. They gave me a shit load of pain meds, then sedated me in order to pop it into place. I also got five stitches on my chin, and broke two teeth,

bear · 08-31-2008, 09:13 AM

hey guys, i'm really sorry, but i have to cancel the races today due to bad weather. if you look outside, it looks like the clouds could break at any moment, and cause hazardous racing conditions. maybe next week.
