As a 10-year pro mountain bike veteran, Mark Weir has made the Downieville Classic Downhill Race his life’s mission. With obsessive dedication and insane skills, Weir locked-up the title for another year when he shattered his course record by nearly a minute. He not only destroyed his record, but also the field, second place was nearly 2 minutes back. This isn't just another race to Weir, it's a way of life. Read more on Santa Cruz Bikes News. Congratulations Mark!!
The Downieville Classic Downhill Course is the longest of its kind. Stretching over 15 miles and descending almost 5,000 ft of the Sierra Nevada's. They claim it’s,“the most demanding course in the nation”, and we’re not going to argue that. See Weir’s record-breaking ride on MotionBased.
Weir has been training with MotionBased for nearly 9-months. He leads the TrailNetwork cycling-pack in elevation gain, and won’t be easy to catch. He’s on target to shatter another record when he climbs over 1-million feet in a year. An impressive feat, ever more impressive is that most of it was on a mountain bike, a BIG mountain bike. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you informed.
Keep on peddling Weir, we're all behind you...way behind...
