The Course

The 2011 is in great shape. We've taken out the muddy climb from last year, and also the rocky descent / climb. Instead, we added in a loop through some dual track / campground road, and a nice new section of flowy single track descent and some more trail along the water. Bottom line: took out the ugly bits, added some sweet stuff. Even with the recent weather, the course is almost completely dry.

Feeding and Support

There are no feed stations on the course, but it is only about 7 km long - that's about 30-60 minutes ride time - so you shouldn't need it.  You can stop and refuel at the Start / Finish - hang out as long as you want.  Because this is a fun event we will allow riders to provide minor assistance to each other on course - if you have a flat another rider is allowed to give you a tube or aid.  But don't count on it!  Some people will be in a hurry.  Carry your own flat kit or you might be walking.

The course is about 8.5 km. The race will be run in the counter-clockwise direction. It suits a wide range of abilities. If you are have never done a mountain bike event before there are a couple of sections (uphill and down) that you may want to walk, but the course as a whole is fun singletrack and dual track, not extreme climbs or descents. A loop of the track generally takes 25 - 40 minutes, depending on ability and fitness.
