Maybe another bonus for the Lake Placid World Cup race: Fall foliage! Travel and Leisure magazine says Priceline has named the Lake Placid region the #1 fall foliage viewing destination in the US for 2026. The World Cup activities will run from October 2 to 4, which looks like it might be when leaf colors are at or near their peak:

8/17/2026 8:30pm We watched this weekend too. It is getting better and better - the drone was icing on the cake. I can't wait to see what they do at Purg! I just want to see this grow in the Rockies - we've been missing high level racing out here.

They’ve live-streamed all three stops so far, and the quality has gotten better with every round. Honestly, after watching the first round at Angel Fire, I thought they might have bitten off more than they could chew. The broadcast wasn’t great. But the livestream from Grand Targhee this past weekend was amazing. They showed full runs for most of the pros and even used picture-in-picture to show the start of the next rider’s run while the previous rider was still finishing. They had a drone at this event, too. Cam McCaul and Mikey Hader also do a great job on...

Hey DH community, We are working to add some west coast events to USDH by hosting a few casual UCI C1 races at our ranch this October. I put a blog post together and you can find it here: https://www.vitalmtb.com/community/judd%20de%20Vall/blog/08/15/2026/ent… We have more than $17k and 1,500 UCI points on the line for Elites this year. It’s fun (and challenging!) to put these together and we hope everyone is excited to come camp and race and support the series. Please spread the word. We will also be doing a C1 the week before Sea Otter in 2027. Hopefully the ranch...

8/17/2026 5:25pm It is a great race series. I think coverage is impacted because they haven't done any race reports and videos like the other races do. Shawn, Julia, and Bill are doing a great job getting this series going but the little "wrap-up" things like that haven't happened yet (or maybe I have missed them?). Maybe they will do it next...

I'm somewhat surprised by the lack of coverage of the Mountain States Cup series. Looks like some gnarly tracks and fun times.

In seeding for Saturday’s Monster Energy Pro Downhill Series race at Solitude in Utah: Maylei Leaneagh went fastest among Pro Women. Kailey Skelton, current Series leader, had a DNS. (At last year’s US Open Maylei’s belt snapped right at the top of the hill and she still managed a 3rd place finish behind only winner Aletha Ostgaard and Camille Balanche.) Dante Silva finished first among Pro Men, 1.3 seconds ahead of Series points leader Nate Kitchen. (Dante entered only 1 UCI World Cup race last year, qualifying P10 in Q1 at Lake Placid and finishing 16th in Finals.)

Like some others, my HBO/Max broadcast had zero commentary. It was so damn nice. The sounds of the the bike, the tires, and the dirt were it.
