• Description: The race takes place on the wickedly fast and flowing High Desert Trail System. This 23 mile network of hard packed, rolling singletrack has gotten better every season since its inception in 2004 and is now in the kind of condition that the hearty souls who built it dreamed of as they sweated under the sun with shovels and picks in hand. You will rip through turns while spinning the big gear you always wanted to and will only touch the brakes in the rarest moments of duress. But this trail does bite back by way of three of the most infamous words in the mountain biking lexicon: climbs, switchbacks, and loose corners. By the time you get to the far side of the course you will realize that while insanely fast at many points, the High Desert won't let you simply coast along while taking in the scenery.
