Overview

Gravel road climbs, rocky singletrack, a bridge and a view from a hang glider launch site.

Description

Two mile climb from the start. Flowy singletrack after with a couple of rock yard to get through ending with a bridge crossing before the first aid station.

Gravel and doubletrack take you to the second half of the race. Lots of rocky singletrack back to the aid station.

Retrace your track back up the hill then cross over to a very rocky, 3 mile section that may require hiking.

When you get to the scenic hang gliding launch, it's all down hill on lose gravel road to the finish. Careful of washing out around corners.
