Plattekill Bike Park located in Roxbury, NY is proud to announce the 2012 Plattekill season. Plattekill has been hosting downhill mountain bike riding and racing for over sixteen years. That will continue full force in 2012. Plattekill Bike Parks last day of biking in 2011 was December 4th , a record. They will follow that up with the earliest opening day in history. The bike park will open for riding April 14st with the annual work weekend a week earlier. The first race of the season will be the Third Annual Gravity Open on Memorial day Weekend , May 27th.
The Gravity Open will be part of the prestigious USA Cycling National Pro GRT and Eastern States Cup Series. The race takes place Memorial Day weekend and will feature many national and international stars. Previous winners have included UCI World Champions. Plattekill Bike Park will host four Eastern States Cup Series races, the finals of the USAC NYS State Championships and the USAC Eastern Regional Championships.
The trails are endless and offer something for riders of all abilities. The fall line trail sections are steep. The natural terrain offers loose shale with large rock drops. Plattekill Bike Park uses two lifts accessing two distinct peak areas. Lift attendants place your bikes on the chair for the ride up. The base lodge offers a cafeteria, bike shop and restrooms. On the deck great burgers and refreshments will be available.
