The opening round of the Pro GRT/ NW Cup, affecionately known as the Underworld Cup is set for launch April 24-26. On the heels of Sea Otter, and in a gap between World Cups, should make for a pretty stacked field for the opener. Additionally, the Elite field will receive UCI points for the first time in the NW Cup's 8th year.
As always, big shout out to all the sponsors of the NW Cup:
going to be sweet, can't wait for next weekend! by no means a complaint(last year's course was one of the most fun courses I've raced), but curious as to why they chose the same course as last year's GRT for Cat1/Pro?
No complaint taken. It's just the best combo of trails for a variety of reasons specifically for when we have as many people as we will have. Speed up top, fun in the middle, and a little gnar down low. Plus spectator/camera friendly. We've got a couple of new nuggets that will be used at the second race BTW.
Hey! I am flying down from alaska to do the race and had a few questions. What time in the morning should I be at the hill on practice days and such? Thanks!
one of the best dh courses might be a little too big of a claim, although it is one of the most fun that I've raced. as the weekend progresses, bomb holes do open up and it does get more gnarly and there are lines that downhill bikes make a lot nicer
