RIT Cycling is proud to preview the 2010 ECCC/Whiteface White-Knuckle Season Opener Super-D course.
Super-D (SD)-
Though not your typical Super‐D course, the course will be a blast for all riders, being 1 mile in length with 300' of descending. The trails will lend themselves very well to an all-mountain bike with ~5" of travel, but there are no major drops or rocks that an XC-hardtail couldn't handle...DH bikes are overkill especially when it comes to the climbing aspect (yes, there are some pretty good climbs). The trail is very flowy and of course features plenty of quick line changes and obstacles to navigate around, and in traditional super-d fashion, the start will be done Le Mann's style, funneling into some fun single-track before finishing with a blazing fire-road sprint. (Mass start event staged by race category)
Looks like a pretty rough run. But I guess some like it rough. Will the course look pretty similar this year?
