Paris Mountain Super D/Enduro Weekend Nov. 17 & 18 2012

[eccorp]

Its official. This year we will be holding 2 days of races.

Saturday: Super D
Race will start at top parking lot at the Sulphur Springs trailhead across from the top parking lot and end at Shelter A&B.

Sunday: Enduro
Every bit of the trail that the park has to offer to Mtn. Bikes. Uphill and Downhill. More Downhill than uphill.

We will also coincide with Upstate SORBA's Cranksgiving Weekend.

Events will include:
Alley Cat Downtown Greenville Friday Night
Pumptrack Contest at Gateway Park in Travelers Rest for the Post Super D party.

Will only the downhills be timed in the Enduro?

NO DH? What's the difference? I thought Enduro and Super D were about the same?

Very different, the point of Enduro is the timed sections are nearly 100% downhill. Think of it as a fun ride around Paris Mtn on your trail bike with your buddies and timing 2-3 downhill sections.

Never ridden Paris before..what is the terrain like for the timed Enduro sections...full DH bike or more 5" travel AM bike?

You will only need a 5" bike at that for the whole weekend. Going to be fun times!

Hey Chuck, I hear ya on the NO DH, but in all honestly, with the old dh trail gone, there is not a place there to have a proper DH race. The Super D should be cool and fun, but I am more stoked on this whole enduro thing.
Enduro is the event that the Southeast is built for, and I would like to see more of these races pop up over our region. Pisgah could not be more perfect for these as well.
Paris has some great trails for an enduro. They could time the long Kanuga trail to the lake, time short kanuga to brissy all the way to the road, and time the new sulpher springs trail as well. It should be a fun event.

Perfect, considering I'm ordering a Transition Bandit this afternoon.

Debbie Downer here. Who's the masochist that put together that promoters nightmare of a schedule?

Gotta admit though...if you're a glutton for MTB with legs of steel, that's one action packed weekend. The winner of that omnium might pee blood/beer at weeks end.

Sweatiest person there will be whoever is running the timing.

Naw its not that hard to pedal all of the trails at Paris at all. To think of it, it wouldn't be very different from any normal ride there for most of us downhillers, since we usually end up pinned on the downhills anyway.

Oh, I'm saying if you wanted to ride the Alley Cat Friday (drinking), race Saturday (followed by drinking), race Sunday (intermittent drinking) and finish by riding the pump track (hard liquor), you'd be wiped out and in need of a detox.

My Son is going to Whip all of you on the Pump Track!!!

Ha Ha!

Yep the new new sulphur springs reroute did away with all the technical factors on the old Dh trail.

Also add Kanuga to Brissy to Pipsessewa to the levy as a timed stage.

Until I can get the park to agree to the trail E.T.D. flagged, the race this year will be Super D and Enduro. We are also scouting out other locations to hold a DH race. That will most likely be 2013.
