Course The course is a combination of all terrains,
Flats, Hills, and rolling terrain. The most challenging part of the course is
the part called "THE WALL", for obvious reasons.
"THE WALL" is 10 miles into the course and consists of a 3/8
of a mile grade at 10% and above. The course is 16 miles per lap, all turns are
right handers. From the start the course heads north along a generally flat
sections for 3 or so miles.
The course then hits some long
rolling stretches before turning right onto Oak Glen. The course then proceeds
along a flat section in the westerly direction along Chesbro Reservoir with a
few mild rollies before again turning right at Llagas Road. The section along
Llagas is generally flat and can be very fast in a fast group.
However, this is where the party ends, upon turning right onto Sycamore road
and approaching the infamous "WALL" Once over the
"WALL", if you can make it over, then a right turn onto
Watsonville Road is made followed by a right back onto Uvas Road and following
the rollies back to the finish.
