The Red on Black race course tours the Sandmans area in the north western corner of Catamount. The course begins with a lot of wider ski trails before finally finding single track at Balsams onto Cliffs of Insanity. The first climb will be up Newts ridge before quickly turning back down the Rock Ridge. The course will then go out to ride Moose poop and return to finish via Porcupine and Woodstrace.
CADET CUTOFFS will be at Clabber bridge taking Cliffs towards Post Rd, AND at the top of Newts Ridge connecting back to Porcupine
*logging expected by late August in NW trails
