THE COURSE: The 2.5km, spectator-friendly, all-dirt course is fast with fun downhill sections of varying speed and width, tight sandy turns, a unique beach section that runs along the shore of Lake Hodges, a sandpit and long, steady uphill sections with strategically placed barriers. This course will challenge your fitness and bike handling skills, and in between those anaerobic moments of suffering, youll be having fun! And when youre done with the race, hang out in the strategically placed beer garden where you can see almost half of the race, or hike to the top of a nearby hill and see the entire course.
