This afternoon I rode the 6 mile race loop at Walnut Mt. in Liberty, NY where tomorrow is round #4 of the New York MTB Series. After the start riders will head into a 1/2 mile section of flowing single track. Once past the registration area I came upon the first of 3 major climbs :drooling:, they are long, steep double track and for me they seemed to go on forever. The last climb was the hardest with a grade of over 10% near the top, each climb is over 1/4 mile long. Once at the top of Walnut Mt., there were a numerous sections of technical single track and plenty of fast downhills that were already covered with leaves which leads to big gear open grass fields that wind around the base of the mountain and loops back past the start/finish line. Tomorrow will be a very tough race since I climb like a turtle with one bad leg, thank god its only 18 miles :mad2:
