GGG3 has come and gone (ooh, starting to get weepy). But this is a race we're sure people will be talking about for awhile. Thanks for all the nice comments - it means a lot. We hope you had a great time. We did. We'll keep trying to raise the bar. It's all about the love - the love of mountain biking, racing, and putting on a big-time event. This big-time event wouldn't have happened though without the help of the following (in no particular order - next time you see them make sure you give them a hearty handshake): Loren "Excel Master" Thomas Lloyd "Spielberg" Ranola Bob "Camel" Lofland Scott "Stressed Out" Schlachter Ron "GGG Master" Chai Scott "Course Demo Master" Seery Joel "ATV Boy" Northrup Kirsten "Daisy Duke" McDaniel Ben "Broke my thumb at the top and still finished" Greene Mike "being the Master Timer sucks" Gin Dawn "gotta lotta stuff going on" Weathersbee Brenton "shave those legs you roadie" Hamilton Peter "let the mind games begin" Sterlacci Ken "stop honking that damn horn because you keep scaring me" Jeffery Eve "thank God for her organizational skills" Davidson Mark "Babysitter/video boy" Davidson Robert "stringing tape on an off-camber slope is my specialty" Ouye Paul "quit working so hard you're making us look bad" Oellerich Jenny "ditto the above" Impey Shaney "why didn't you win Scott?" Schlachter Dave "grass stains on the ass" McCrimmon Debbie "so my Franky-baby could race" Walden Rich "10 second brain fart" Henthorn Bob "two turntables and a microphone" Knight Dave "dyslexic" Longinotti Keith "only one beer - yeah right" White Jeff Hane John "2002 XC Champ at a DH race?" Hillstrom Pete Rudnick Jerry "no not the mayor" Brown (never heard that one before I'm sure) Linda "where were you?" George & Hubby Kathleen "don't mess with me over an age discrepancy" Meyer Jon "Rim Rider" Heim Nick "quit throwing out the raffle stuff so damn fast - at least give the folks who bought tix a chance" Relampagos Peter "w/girlfriend there to keep him out of trouble - tough not looking at those shorts, eh?" Donohue Mike S(w/Joel) Mike Suominen Dave (w/Kirsten) Edgar Pomel Patrick (Kathleen's son) Brandon (Rich's son) (sorry, couldn't come up with nicknames for everyone since I didn't see everyone - if we've missed anyone, please let us know so we can post your name here) And for course development: Scott Schlachter, Scott Seery, Pete Rudnick, Robert Ouye, Ken Jeffrey, Joel Northrup, Mike (last name?), and ??? (former TWWer who I think is a regular at the Chabot rides), Frank and Kyle Walden, and Chad Soares, Nick Overthebarsagos, Long-n-naughty, Loren starting-to-tail-me-on-his-fs-bike-on-Thursdays-damnit, Charlie and his guys from Vision Cycles, Scott McGowan and friend, Erik Johnson, Jon Heim, Jerry Brown, Jennifer the-Resource-Ecologist, and probably several others - sorry if you were left off the list. * 3rd Annual Groovy Gravity Games * March 30, 2003 - MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!! You remember this event, right? Even better course - super fast with more turns and jumps (as recommended by you the racer), pretty darn good organization, shuttle ride to the top, quickly posted results, fun atmosphere, jumps, and tons o' schwag. If you didn't attend, well you missed out. But here is your chance to hop on the bandwagon while this thing picks up speed.

We have chosen CSRVA as our venue because it is a motorcycle/4WD park - it will have minimal impact on the aforementioned users. Because the park is not utilized by hikers and equestrians, we believe this is an appropriate venue for a DH race. Please respect other trail users, ride in control, and ride on open trails only.
