More course recon reports are coming in from this week, and the resounding feedback is: Best courses ever! Yes, we are just slightly biased, but the new courses are serving! Roads are smoother (shout out to the Plumas National Forest road crew for working on Crocker this week), climbs are evenly dispersed, there is way less chunk, views are more scenic than ever with our ability to incorporate the forest road on the west side of Lake Davis for the first time, and the best part: There’s more dirt! By changing up the finish, we were able to cut out the final pavement stretch back into Portola (and its inevitable headwind), and significantly increase the dirt-to-pavement ratio for all three courses. The amount of dirt doubles this year on the 40-mile Half Calf course 😳Come on out to Portola on June 13 & stay for the whole weekend…it’s gonna be a banger! Pre-riding?
