Trail Update: Ego Trip
Another busy week at Diablo! In addition to routine maintenance across the mountain, the ParkLogic Crew has put the finishing touches on the new section of Ego Trip. Ego Trip will be closed early Saturday morning but will promptly reopen by noon.
The trail crew has been putting in some long hours and the trails are in excellent shape for this upcoming weekend. Next week the ParkLogic crew will continue with a barrage of trail maintenance and begin some all-new trail sections!
The weather forecast for Saturday is calling for mostly cloudy skies for the majority of the day with a 20% chance of showers by late afternoon. Ride Diablo!

ParkLogic Trail Crew: Back in action!
It has been a while since our last post and there is plenty to chat about! The 2010 U.S. Open is in the books and we are pleased to announce that it was the most successful event weekend to date at Diablo Freeride Park. During the event period a total of 2,038 racers and freeriders were on the mountain making it an amazing weekend of gravity riding! A huge thank you goes out to all the racers, freeriders, sponsors, volunteers, staff and to Mountain Creek Resort for making this annual event a huge success!
The ParkLogic Crew has been back on the mountain and tons of routine maintenance is taking place throughout the trail network. In the past few days alone, the crew has diligently scoured the mountain to keep the trails in prime condition. Trails such as Tempest, Outlaw, Twist, EgoTrip, Greenhorn, Deviant, Dominion, The Jack, Upper Breakout, Covenant, Pipeline, Dirt Merchant, Alpine, among others have been recently maintained and are in excellent condition!
Stay tuned for more info as the ParkLogic begins some interesting new projects next week!
Popular trails are being sprayed with a soil additive which will help resist dust and erosion!

U.S. Open Update: Kenda Kicker
With the 2010 U.S. Open of Mountain Biking just 11 days away, the Diablo ParkLogic crew will be working day and night adding new features and getting the U.S. Open course 100% dialed prior to the event. George Ryan, Jamis Team rider and ParkLogic trail crew member, provided his stamp of approval this afternoon after testing the new Kenda Kicker at the bottom of the 2010 downhill course. The 2010 rendition of this classic feature is faster, bolder and bigger and measures a full (yes we used a tape measure) 40feet gap. More updates early this week!

Downhill Results: May 9, 2010
Just under 100 racers braved the brisk conditions and waited-out a morning windhold to test their mettle on the Diablo Gravity Series 'Asylum' course.
The conditions were prime and the racing action was fierce. World Cup vet and Diablo local Jurgen Beneke posted the fastest time of the day notching his first win of the season while amateur shredders Ryan Gardner and Dan Albert took top honors in the men's amateur categories.
Becky Gardner of the Beacon Bombers and Isabel Georgian claimed the top spots in the women's categories.
A huge thanks to all racers for attending the event and making ROUND 1 a fun and successful event. The wind-hold in the morning hours tried everyone's patience, but in the long run it was a fun day with some fierce competition.
Next race... The U.S. Open of Mountain Biking!
Attn Amateur Men Senior racers:
Shortly after the awards ceremony the final category times were sorted and processed. If you placed top-3 in this category, please call us at 973.864.8420 and we will coordinate shipping you your prizes. Thank you for your understanding. Great job to all racers!

IndyCross Update
The popular IndyCross trail received a minor facelift this week. Some berms and rollers were tweaked and we installed this new gap-on/gap off feature at the bottom of the course. Weather permitting this new feature will be in tomorrows race! The feature will also be used in this little event we call the U.S. Open on May 27-30th, so start practicing!
