October 30th / 31st Super D and VEGG Finals DH Closing Weekend
0 votes

Just aheads up for all the Super D junkies out there. Suprisingly I've received alot of emails on " when are you running another race ?". So as a result we decided to fishizzle one into the the closing weekend. We will be hosting the VEGG Finals closing weekend and awards ceremony on Sunday October 31st. The Super D race will be on Saturday October 30th. The super D race will be USAC sanctioned but not part of the VEGG. The course will be new and old and on part of what we used for the Collegiate's xc course. So for all you hammerheads come ride the lift with us and enjoy some Super Delicious downhills Evil There is a new section of the Blue Route being finished up this week and the course will have a different bottom to finish on. Another words DH bikes better have lots of air pressure. Any race registration will give you a pass for both days to ride. $45 for Super D and $65 or $60 for DH with lift access all weekend ! I'll have the schedule up soon and camping will be available for the last weekend too. Beer

Also keep a heads up for the season pass special for next year the last 2 weekends. These will only be sold the last 2 weekends so if you want one cheap for next year Eye

i rode it on a hardtail last

i rode it on a hardtail last year, but i wouldn't say it was friendly. the super d for the most part is pretty smooth and definitely rideable on a hardtail, but that's being used for a race saturday, so i'd opt for sunday if you're looking to check it out.

Same as DH course

the course is also being used for the DH race on sunday i THINK. sorry man, race weekends arent the best weekends to come to the mt for the first time because usually the race will cover a good number of trails on the mountain.

Course is taped ..... Blue Rt

Course is taped ..... Blue Rt .... Balboa ....Blue Rt ..... sneak uphill ..... Chainsaw ...... Super D Connector ...... Turkey Belt ...... ???? = Frickin sweet track !!! Trails are leaf blown and it sick condition. This race course is very raceable on an xc bike for those that aren't sure. Don't know the real choice bike bit it probably depends on your conditioning. The downhill track is a peddlar also but super fun. Blue Rt .... Chainsaw .... Gobblers ..... Lower Turkey Belt. Fall colors are in full effect and we hope to see you on the trails !! Just a reminder season passes are on sale thru the weekend still !!

 

The races only run for an hour and a half each day fyi.  When the race is on the other half is still open guys.  Other than that the trails are open for everyone the rest of the weekend.  Thanks !
