I'm interested as well... never rode the course and will be riding in that race ( meadow muffin classic).

do you know if we can preride the course on race day?

You can always preride on race day. Just be extremely respectful to racers.

It's really rocky and techincal. The Downhills are nothing major, but still long and fast; just not very steep. The climbs are similar. Definitely more of a "mountain bike race" then Farmington.

I've always used my hard, but I plan on taking my FS this year (now that I have one). It's definitely rocks, so a fs would probably be a reasonable idea.

The course as of Saturday was in pretty good condition. I will be helping to mark the couse this weekend. All I can say is that this place is a lot of fun to ride - technical rock gardens, loose rock beds, short, but steep climbs, etc.

This is one of those places where the worse the weather, the more fun the ride! The soil is a mix of sand, mud, and a little bit of dirt so make sure your drive train is well lubed.

You can pre-ride the course, but do so early. Also, I attached a topo map of the trails used for the race last year (most of which will be part of the race this year).
