Plattekill DH Race #1

[Bawitdaba]

Downhill Race #1 Sunday May 13, 2007

For a decade, Plattekill's world class caliber downhill courses have gained a reputation for being among the most challenging and technical in North America. Newly designed race courses take full advantage of the "new" mountain’s assets, namely the new Northface Lift. Loose descents and tricky off-camber sections will challenge even the best bike handlers. Plattekill earned its trademark by offering racers a newly designed course at every event.

I'll be there, expert race #2 for me!

Here's a description of the expert/pro course from a friend of mine who rode it this weekend:

"The course is awsome, it's on the double side, five or six small 3-5' drops, nasty chute, lots of smooth bermed single track and super high speed ski trail to finish, with turns for Ford."
