Hood River super d mountain bike race on post canyon

It’s official, additional miles and more vert has been added to last years course and the race will now finish at lower Post Canyon. The course drops 3,000 vertical feet in 7 miles, while serving up about 400 feet of climbing. Expect a super fast, challenging race that will have you maxed out the whole way! The Hood River Super D is one of the most scenically spectacular and steepest Super D courses in the country. Many course locations clock riders at over 35 mph! So yes, this is a burly course where expert level skills are often required. This area features very fast and technical trails that have been the focus of major mountain bike videos and magazine publications. Post Canyon is becoming one of the top mountain bike meccas in the country and athletes are continually flocking here to test their skills throughout our diverse network of trails and freeride features. Away from the dirt, this year’s kick-off and post-race parties will take place at Double Mountain Brewery in downtown Hood River with live music, a sponsored demo-zone and award ceremonies happening here; both Saturday and Sunday. Not to mention, NW School of Freeride will be hosting dual pump track races all day on Sunday with finals kicking off after the Super D award ceremonies. Race packets MUST be picked up Saturday at Discover Bicycles, located a couple blocks away from the festivities. Shuttles will transport riders from lower Post Canyon up to the start line beginning around 7am on race day. Car pooling or pedaling from town is highly recommended to reduce traffic congestion on the lower road! More info here
