For those of you who have not ridden the Paris DH course, you guys have got to check it out!!! I had the opportunity this weekend to do some shuttle runs with Cecil, and all I can say is this is a REAL DH run. Don't let the elevation fool you. The course is steep and technical from top to bottom, lots of roots and rocks(natural,not placed there by someone) tight fallaway switchbacks, and lots of speed!!(did I mention the rocks and roots) The DH course is located in a beautiful State park with a lot of other trails that are fast and flowy(if you dont mind the climb) that people have obviously put alot of work into. If you havent seen the flyer, here is the link http://www.parismountaindh.com/. If you have been thinking about riding here, please do. This is a course you would not expect to find in the south. Thanks to Cecil and the guys from Upstate SORBA for all the hard work. Give this place a try, I promise you wont be disappointed!!!
