Hardtail Course it is!!


COURSE DESCRIPTION:  The course is approx. 7 miles long.  The race loop starts with an open field sprint up a hill into the woods with tight twisty single track for a couple minutes before popping out into a larger open field section that twist and turns through clumps of trees (great passing section for riders). Riders then dive back into tight single track with nice climbs and tight corners. Next comes the nasty climb behind the tennis court and the “Corner of Death” followed by a quick decent to the pond where the trail skirts the pond then up and across the paved road and down a short section of paved trail (another great spot for passing).  Riders will drop off the pavement with a quick drop-in by the creek followed immediately by a leg-bustin’ climb.  The next several miles are fast like a roller coaster with tons of flow and big ring riding for the fast guys.  This section is mostly single track with some open sections mixed in for passing.  Riders will then cross back over the paved road with a couple screaming down hills and killer climbs before reaching the start/finish area.    *Course distance subject to change depending on weather conditions. 

Well let's see how Team ROD does at this one!!
