High Point

The 11-mile loop course is tight, smooth, single-track connecting to a primitive fire road with a sustained climb and a few roots and rocks. From the top, it transitions into a motorized track, which is fast and flowing with one or two rock gardens. Then back to single-track to finish the race. The course is fast and fun, accessible by most recreational riders. And yes, you can ride it solo, as a duo or a team of 4+. Are you ready to "grin and bear it"?
