Race Description: Dillon Rocks! You want technical tough, knee busting rock gardens? Come to Dillon Rocks. The race starts with a short, paved prolog before diving into the pure singletrack for the entire race loop. Climbing? Not a ton on this course but it does have winding switch backs after the field loop, a hike a bike and a few other sections to keep you honest. Novice course includes one of the two rock gardens. Everyone else must pay the piper! 

This is a self-supportive race. There will be no water stations for MTB Novice Class Racers completing one lap. There will be a water station and place for bottle drops located at the start/finish for Sport and Expert MTB racers completing laps.
