The race course (one lap)
is a long gradual ascent and descent consisting of fire roads, tight twisting
singletrack, technical rocky sections and short punchy climbs through beautiful
pine forest. The last 1/3rd is new, reducing the overall miles, but incorporating
some more challenging technical sections.
