I would love to, but I am going on vacation with my family this weekend. Definitely next year. I didn't even know that there was a dh race there.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I'm currently living in Madison at the moment (moved here from the UK) and would love to meet some riders for the upcoming spring season to ride some AM and DH.

I've hit up Quarry park and pretty much got bored of it now, I've heard blackhawk is decent.

I have no idea where anything is and I don't have a car but would love to tear things up! So places within a hours ride of Madison would be ideal

I'm on a 160-150mm am/fr bike that I can tackle pretty much anything on, so if anyone has any suggestions for where to ride I'm open to suggestions!

thanks

Definitely go ride Blackhawk. It'd be pretty much perfect for your bike/style. I'd go ride with you, but I moved to Ohio the beginning of the year. As for pure DH, I'm not too sure you'll find a whole lot of it in Wisconsin... But there's plenty of fun to be had on AM/Lighter FR and DJ bikes.

I also noticed you didn't mention Quarry Ridge. It's in Fitchburg, and it's a bit bigger than Quarry Park, and has some nicer aggressive downhill lines.

Well that sounds great to me, I managed to get hold of one of the CORP riders who recommended Quarry ridge but as long as there is something aggressive to play with then I reckon that is a good start.

Are there any riders who want to meet up when the snow clears to ride? I've been here a few months now and not enough riding has been done!

Aren't they supposed to be building some new DH park out there?

Might also be worth it to try to meet some folks who work at Trek - their private trail system is invite-only but they're a ton of fun. You can get full use out of a 160mm bike out there easy.

I'm also a fan of Levis out near Eau Claire. Most of it is pretty similar to Kettle but there are some really nice views and there are a few really gnarly spots.

I know about the Alpha trail, but I also heard that they are going to build a legitimate bike park called The Rock or something like that there. It is supposed to have baseball fields there are well. I will ty and do some more research.

Apparently there is a website, who knew (www.rockcomplex.com). According to the website they are building more aggressiv trails being designed by Gravity Logic.

I live about 45min. outside of Madison, and I have some buddies that ride on the near west side. I recently converted over to a 26" DJ from a bmx. Let me know if anyone is interested in riding this spring. I typically ride quarry park, ray's, madison street (i know of many spots), and I would like to venture to blackhawk, although I'm not sure if blackhawk is ride-able with a hardtail.
