THE DOWNHILL EVENT: Sunday at 11am
Back by popular demand.Plattekill will feature a best-of-two race-run event offering 2 timed runs for the price of one! This new format premiered at Plattekill's August race and received an overwhelming positive response giving racers the option of taking a second run to better their time. As a result, the mountain will again run this format and hold up to their commitment to riders and their dedication to being a riders mountain -- as the original grassroots leader in mountain bike racing.
Delta House Racing with help from Plattekill's World Cup rider Geoff Ulmer, have put together a classic pro/expert downhill course featuring the "Dreadnaught Drop", 15' out 10' down to a smooth transitional landing followed by a bermed left hand turn at full speed. The course also features parts of the "Fun Run" and the "Freeride Trail", along with some Geoff Ulmer inspired fresh cut track after Dreadnaught to connect the course to the DS Finish Area.
The sport/beginner downhill course will be built for fun and speed and is the
perfect course if you are looking to race for the first time or return after some
time off. This course takes out the fear and intimidation of racing for the aspiring
rider. CLICK FOR COURSE PHOTOS
HOPE TO SEE YOU HERE FOR A GREAT WEEKEND!!!
