the race course is just burning for action! most
of the course has been manicured for maximum

fun narrow single track. please be courteous to faster
racers. if someone is on your tail, find a safe place to
let them pass even if that means a slight stop for you.
it only takes a fraction of a second out of your run but
can save some road rash. the course will be marked by friday
night. and yup, we are keeping our love for the sport including
taking pride with our course character...so,
keep an eye open for there are some tricky sections on our course.
watch for the red arrows. one arrow is for direction;
two arrows mean use caution and three arrows mean
a very tricky section and precede with extreme caution.
please ride within your abilities and if you're not sure if
you can ride the section safely get off your bike and walk.
