It's round two of the Downhill Southeast, so where are we going? Back to the state of TENNESSEE! Enter week four of five coming off a widely successful first National level event at "the place where bikes go to die", aka Windrock, the Downhill Southeast crew headed a degree or two Southwest and about 150 miles to Sequatchie, Tennessee and Trials Training Center for round 2 of 3 of the DHSE brought to you by Neko Mulally (and crew).
Prentice Cooper State Forest is ginormous! 24,686 acres of ginormous to be exact. Whatever your fix: hunting, OHV, rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, camping, the SF pretty much covers it all. One of the more popular visitor areas is Snoopers Rock (pictured). 6 miles in by car and about 0.3 miles on foot. Very easy, very accessible and totally worth the journey for the zen moment.

Great photos and article though, looks like it was a fun weekend.
Fox has stepped up and given away two free products at each race so far to the fastest Am and Intro riders. By the time it's all said and done next weekend at Windrock we will have given out two forks, two shocks, and two dropper posts! The swag game at these races is also at an all time high! Too many hats, beanies, water bottles and brake pads given way to count...
