This week, @capedoc took this picture at Baldpate and the following morning I mimicked it, the following day Cody from Halters did and today @Mountain Bike Mike did and BOOM, the Baldpate challenge is born. This spot is at (or near) the highest point in Mercer County at ~480'. Coincidentally, the Delaware River is the lowest, which is at the bottom of this hill. While everyone loves to poop all over the pate, I have taken an active roll in maintaining it and communicating with park staff to remove large trees and such. Also the park has done some TM sessions and cut back a bunch of over growth. On the tail end of a few dry weeks, Baldpate is in the best condition we have seen in years. One cool thing here is that you can access this spot by MTB, Cross/Gravel or Road Bikes. It has an access road that is a great climb to the top or you can come up the trails. Sure there is a bunch of double track, but you also get to get alittle good tech and some steep climbing.
PrinceTec has stepped up and provided a SNAP light. Everyone who completes the challenge now through September 15th will be entered in a drawing to win the light.
ALL you need to do find the spot and take a picture (included the view) with you, your bike, or whatever in the picture. Post it on IG and use #baldpatechallenge
That is it! As a courtesy to those who dont have IG, I will cross post your pictures from here and enter you.
