2012 POC Eastern States Cup 6 On The Windham World Cup Course Race

The POC Eastern States Cup continues to deliver the best racing in the country on the best tracks anywhere. July 14-15, two weeks after Aaron Gwin won his fourth UCI World Cup of the season on the Windham Downhill Race Track, the POC ESC will hold the sixth race of the POC ESC season on the same great course. Racers will be contesting their own battles on the “big boy’s track”. The fast racers will be able to hit all the same features as the World Cup stars did, there will be a few go-arounds offered for those not ready for the big features.

The top chute drop, the road gap and Peaty’s Plunge will all be open to ride and race. The container drop will be reconfigured to a step down but the rest of the big jumps will be open for all classes.  The Citizen’s course will also be open to have some fun chill runs on. You guys asked for this and the POC ESC delivered, now we need everyone to continue to show Windham the great support that was delivered at UCI World Cup.

Windham Mountain offers their Adventure Park for summer thrills. Race your friends down dual zip lines that are 40 ft above the ground..
