THE ROUTE

Seven distinct downhill trails at Lake Leatherwood

The park’s seven downhill runs offer sustained descents that can last up to 20 minutes depending on rider speed and ability—ample room to find flow on each line.

THE SHUTTLE

A purpose-built shuttle keeps laps coming

Shuttle rides to the top are short—about 5 to 10 minutes—and pickups from the bottom run approximately every 15 minutes, letting riders maximize downhill time between runs.

THE SESSION

All‑day, downhill‑focused laps

This is a day of repeated descents with a shuttle rhythm: expect a full‑day experience that concentrates on downhill mileage rather than cross‑country touring.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

You meet at the bike park and settle into a loop: short shuttle ride to the top, a sustained downhill run of ten to twenty minutes, then a quick shuttle back for another lap. The cadence favors continuous descents—short climbs, long drops, and a steady rotation between top and bottom that fills a six‑hour, all‑day program.
