Thinking about doing a nice big road trip for these two World's races. I have never been to a World Cup race so not sure how it all works. Will the rest of the mountain(s) be open for riding during the racing weekends? Do they let non racers on the courses after the race is done?

I can't speak for Windham, but the rest of MSA is open for riding when the race is going on. You can ride the course when the race is over, but its closed off until after finals, you can't ride it after practice is over on thursday for example. The rest of the riding at MSA is great anyway IMO. Really long runs.

That's good to know. I think were going to plan on being up there all week so definitely want to get a lot of riding in.

 

[Eastern States Cup]

Plattekill is having a UCI Points race the weekend before Windham and open all week 4pm till dark for riding after watching the WC action. Plattekill is 20 min from Windham and will have cheap camping all week as well and a BBQ daily.

. . . Plattekill is 20 min from Windham . . .

Whoa. Is there some crazy back route I don't know about between these two places? I'd put that drive at more like 45 minutes due to the fact it's about 30 miles on mostly narrow roads through small towns (Prattsville being my new favorite of all time).

Either way, cool to hear Platty's going to offer some good riding for spectators.

The 5 K DH will be a week after the Worlds on the weekend of 9-11/12 2010.

windham does not really have much in the way of other trails. so your best bet is going to plattekill like voodoo mentioned.

Whoa. Sounds like a road trip!

damn, I was planning on doing a roadtrip to Windham and MSA but the 5k DH sounds like more fun.

Yeah, i was going to look into that but thanks. Platty would probably be better riding than Windham for that weekend.

 

[Eastern States Cup]

We're also working on something else pretty special for that time period

 

[Jettj45]
