Course Description
The
2007 race course has been modified due to large rock on the downhill run
into the Old Tamarack ski area. Mountain bikers may choose from two course
options: intermediate or the advanced option. To avoid bikes and
runners on narrow trails, all runners must take the
12 mile intermediate option.
The intermediate option will be 12 miles loop, with a mix of single track and dirt logging roads. The intermediate course starts up the bridges side of headwaters. At the top of headwaters it will turn up southside for a short distance before angling left up a connector towards the wagon road trail and continue to the ridge road. Climb ridge road over Paradise Point and drop to the north for a single lop of triplecrown then back to the ridge road. From there turn back West and descend entirely on ridge road back to the finish at Pond Nine.
The 16 mile advanced course will emphasize single track; it is recommended for experienced riders that are fit enough for grueling climbs and skilled enough for technical descents.
The advanced course will include many of your
favorite MAMBA maintained trails. It will also start up
the bridges side of headwaters and ride to it's summit; turn
right up southside then left up moosemarble and
climb the nasty V to Paradise Point. Cross ridge
road to ride triplecrown and drop down north
contour. Ride shortly east on ridge road to upper tusk,
loop back to the ridge road and bomb back to paradise point to descend the
V, then switchblade and finally headwaters
to the finish.
