Going to Grand Junction National ? Look here

Postby mhp800 » Wed Jul 29, 2009 6:44 pm

Billy and I went to Grand Junction last weekend . We got there around noon just in time for the sky's to let loose of buckets and buckets of rain . Of course they wanted blame the Utah people :D After 10 mins of rain the T.O. called the race . I talk to him and ask if they where going to go home or hang out he said that if we wanted to hang out and the rain stop we could ride , 10 mins later the sun came out and Billy got to ride . The track was just rebuilt and quickly socked up the water . The track is 1100 feet long and looks like are Utah riders will be able to handle it well .The track is at the fair grounds and there is a lot of parking for cars and motor homes .

Looks like it is coming together nicely. Nick Adams (GJ T.O.) called me when the rebuild was completed and said the new dirt he got was from the horse track which is some of the best dirt you can get. Perfect mixture of clay, sand and horsie by-products :P and is rock free!

I have been to Grand Junction several times and the facility will work great for the national. They just need to add some extra seating and they will be set. For lodging I highly recommend the Hampton Inn downtown on Main Street. It is as close as any other hotel (about 5 to 10 mins) and has super comfy beds and a great breakfast. Since it is on Main Street you have access to several great eateries and shops. There is a grocery store very close to the track for all of your hydration and race fuel needs too. There is some awesome mountain biking surrounding the town too if you are looking for other cycling activities.

There are some other fun tracks within an hour drive of GJ in Olathe and Montrose. If you plan to check out the GJ track before the national be sure to try the other tracks out.

I hope to make this race, if my schedule permits, to support my good buddy Nick.
