Super D Course Announced

Time to pre-ride

Words by Cam McRae.

No more secrets - the Ripper Super D route is out in the open.  Follow the green line with the arrows on the map below and that's the route.

The start will be on Pinch Flat Alley at the top of TNT.  After heading down TNT you'll continue along Cabin Trail to Mushroom for your first climb of the day.  It's not a bad one at all.   You'll go right past Incline and then head down Corkscrew and then into Salvation.  After the woodwork you'll roll across the power lines and into Pingu.  When you hit the Baden Powell you'll turn left and head up to Severed Dick.  This classic will put a grin on your mug no matter what bike you are on.  After that it's a bit of an up down meander along Bridle Path until you reach the rock that marks the entrance of the old Empress trail (don't stop at the entrance to the new Empress).

What would be a good time for a rip like this?  Do you think anyone will break 40 minutes?  35?  We'll have to wait and see.  As usual there will be prizes for costumes and general Ripper Spirit.  If you don't think you are up to the Ripper you are mistaken.  The Rippers are for Shore riders of all abilities and everyone is welcome.  Anyone remember Participaction? 

If you've got anything to say about the route or you'd like to predict your time or the fastest time - blow your horn in this thread that James Wilson started.

See you all on Saturday,
