RACE COURSE PICTURE

NEW* COURSE for 2008. If you have raced in Pocatello in the past you have raced at Bartz and ridden the grass. This is a classic course with HARD RIDING. We have kept plenty of the hard riding and added some new sections this year. WE added a SICK RUN-UP. It is UCI Legal and smooth... No rocks or logs. Just a classic run-up. It will HURT. We all practice shouldering our bikes, but not many of the regional races have a classic run-up. This RUN is classic. You will not forget it. The good thing is we have built a course that is 9 minutes long at least.... so you will only encounter it 4-5 times. We will have 1-2 Runs and one SET of barriers per LAP. One of the RUNS will be ride able for some, and a short run for others. We have also been give permission to use the softball fields so expect some fast sections to break up the grass. We will be leaving Bartz each lap for 2-3 minutes of ALL new riding. There is some asphalt, grass, single track, and the run-up...that are all new for 2008.
See you SUNDAY November 9th for KING/Queen of Cross. Register on athlete 360 to get a good start position.

WOW!
Thanks Sam for organizing this. This is just beautiful! I will try and do this race justice by previewing the course and not getting lost like I always do in 'cross.
