SKYLINE MOUNTAIN BIKE RACE
By Platinum Performance's Todd Booth
The Skyline Mountain Bike Race took place up in Napa, CA. This will be the location of the Single Speed World Champs later in the year on August 23-24, 2008. Platinum's Ryan Booth along with a ton of other hot single speeders took advantage of the chance for an early reconnaissance of the Single Speed World's circuit. (The World Champs will be the same course.) The layout is considered one of the toughest and technically challenging courses found. Lots of rocks, big drops and switchbacks to keep the riders on edge. The racers took on a 24 mile course with 4800 feet of climbing. Platinum's SoCal rider Steve Silva represented with a 2nd place finish in the Expert 45+ class. Ryan Booth
walked away with a 13th place finish in the Single Speed Open class.
