Plattekill Pro GRT #2 race course
Words from Steve:
Just wanted to give you a quick update of my first race of the season. The Pro GRT made a stop on the east coast this past weekend in Plattekill NY for the 2nd stop of the series, this was also the first race of the series in which Plattekill and Mount Snow joined together to create The Eastern States Cup race. The pro class featured many World Cup Riders and this was the first big event for a mountain that has been running it’s lifts for riders and hosting races for 17 years! The event went perfect.
I had some great practice runs and the bike felt great on the course which included a fast flowing section on the top, then a steep rocky chute with a big and technical drop in the middle, finishing with more fast flow on the bottom then off the infamous “Broken Tooth” drop and into the finish. I was able to get some fast practice runs and the F5 felt great, stable at speed, handled the big drops with my 215lbs on it, and pedaled great to the finish. Unfortunately my race run did not go so well but I was able to hang on and get 4th place in the CAT 1 (expert) 40+ category.
Here is a helmet cam run that a friend did while following me down the course during practice on Saturday, enjoy and thanks again for all the support.
