Women A Expert Course
Men A Expert Course
There are two distinctly different Downhill courses. The Expert course is precisely that- for skilled riders only. The Expert course has several four foot or greater drops onto uneven terrain, highly technical sections, and a fast, grassy downhill finish. The Sport course is easily navigated with a cross country bike, and should provide some fast times. This course shares the start and finish with the Expert course, and also rides down a steep sandy hill similar to the cross country course. This course is a great opportunity for people to try some tamer downhill, that may involve some pedaling, for the first time.
