Was just reading the story about the Beneke vs. Mark Weir rivalry at the Downieville Classic DH race in Mountain Bike magazine. Good stuff. Beneke pulled off 4th place, only a minute down on Weir over 5000 feet of descending and 500 feet of climbing and race times of 40+ minutes. This, despite the fact that Weir has been racing and winning Downieville for over a decade, trains there frequently, and knows the course like the back of his hand. On a neutral course, the outcome could have been much different.
Regardless, there's a nice east coast/west coast thing brewing...
