This race is intended for beginner-intermediate riders to advanced riders.

This course is a 3 and 6-mile loop on mountain bike trails that consists of flowy single track and double track. Participants will complete as many laps as possible during a 3-hour or 6-hour time duration. The race can be completed as a team or by an individual. The START/FINISH line will be in the meadow area of the Big Hill Trailhead (Trail # 72), by the warming hut. 

The 6-mile loop will start by leaving the meadow area at Big Hill Trailhead and descending down Twin Bridges heading in a clockwise direction for approximately 1.5 miles. You will then stay right and climb up a double track approximately 1 mile to a ridge that will lead you to “C” Loop. Once on “C” Loop you will descend to “A” Loop which will lead you back to the meadow area of the Big Hill Trailhead.
