June 8-10, 2012

Short Track:
A bit like cross country races but with much shorter laps, faster action in a much smaller and very spectator friendly area. Classes may be combined based on size.

Dirt Time Trial:
It will be you against the clock on a mostly single track course. Riders start individually at pre-determined intervals (see schedule posted 24 hours before the event).

Cross Country:
More technical than the Short Track or Time Trial, terrain varies greatly and will include fire roads, single track, asphalt, cow trails etc.  

Class Descriptions:

BEGINNER:
This class is for those who have never raced before or have raced very little. You ride maybe two times a week.

SPORT:
You've been riding for a while, you can ride Granite Bay, Auburn and Salmon Falls and do OK. You might spend 3-4 days a week riding.

EXPERT:
You know who you are.  You live to crush your competitor buddies.

SINGLE SPEED:
Ummmm you only have ONE GEAR on your bike. This is a Sport or Expert class.

CLYDESDALE:
Are you 200 lbs or over? The Clyd's class is a class for the big guys at the sport level. Watch out! They can be pretty fast. If you are not at least at the sport fitness and skill level, try the Beginner class instead.
