Schwalbe NAEC 2023 Day 2 route

Be aware, all roads on transfers are live and will potentially have vehicle traffic. Pay attention, especially while riding around corners, and follow all traffic laws.

8:00 AM - Hop on the gondola and cruise up to the Mountain House. We upload everyone early so we’re not mixing with the normal Gondola traffic, so be prepared to hang out up top. It takes roughly 3.5 hours to start everyone at 30 second intervals. You’ll be able to hang out inside at the Mountain House, and there’ll be an extra special opportunity to heckle all of the e-bike competitors on the Power Stage.

Stage 6 - Everyone - 3,400' of buck nasty, top-to-bottom, NAEC goodness.

Drop in on the Hammer, enjoy a new raw section, and watch for the right hander onto Goat Rodeo right before the road gap. Goat Rodeo is a little taste of BC in Idaho, with surfy turns and long root strewn straightaway. From there you’ll get into Mutton Conductor, which steps up the chunk, roots, holes, and gnar. It’s an absolute hand killer that takes a lot of skill to maintain speed on. You’ll blow through 5 Corners junction and drop into Spooky Woods. Be sure to enjoy these classic roots that have been pounding bike since the 90's. At the bottom of Spooky Woods, you’ll turn left, go on the road for a little bit, then drop into Mom Jeans. That leads to the first part of War Gerbil. As you exit the woods and cruise onto the grassy knob, where you’ll veer left onto Secret Squirrel, and then catch the step up to step down at the end of Man Child, follow by a few more bumps, jumps and roots. As you sprint across Cemetery Rd - say what's up to your course marshals - then enjoy the much-faster-than-you'd-expect Frog Trees. Cross the finish line, catch your breath, then head straight back to the Race HQ and return your timing chip.
