2016 Junior Short Course Map in .gpx
This spectacular 17 mile course is situated on a private ranch which is closed to the public. We get to pre-ride only the day before the race on Friday June 3rd starting at 10:00am.
Discover this ripping 17 mile circuit which will give you a taste of everything we love about mountain biking. With approximately 1,700 feet of elevation gain per lap, this course has some bite!
The course winds through the low hills of Black Forest and Ponderosa Pine, stream beds, rock crevices, game trails, you name it – which is sure to put a grin on competitor’s faces as this challenging course is a real delight. The views of Pikes Peak and rolling prairie are memorable, while the course rewards the rider who can keep their speed through a variety of terrain.
