This is a great course that offers everything from fire
roads to technical, hilly single track. Beginners: Be advised that
this is a course that requires some experience on the mountain bike. There
are steep ups and downs with log hops (not to say you can't walk certain
sections). ALL racers MUST wear helmets and ride a functional mountain bike.
