Rain & Races

Race #8 of the Intermountain Cup, Peddle Fest @ Deer Valley, was in jeopardy with the potential of too much rain. But the Deer Valley soil and a little warm air after the start of the race made the trails nice and tacky. The turnout was great and racers were treated with some great weather. Of course you have to work through the opening climb a few times but it sorts things out nicely before you dive into the single track.


On the downhill side of things, last weekend's races were held at Wolf Creek Ski Resort. More rain made for fun riding and the Super D did not disappoint. That is unless your climbing legs weren't feeling too good. A new trail with an uphill start got the blood flowing for the first 1/3 of the course. The middle section rolled through some nice sections including a now deep creek crossing with a sharp up afterwards. The bottom 1/3 was incredibly built, fast downhill with some great berms in the corners.

Again the Snyper 1 is incredible and just keeps getting better every time you ride it. The Type X is a thoroughbred and just wants to go fast. If you haven't seen these two amazing bikes please let me know and I would be more than happy to visit your shop.
