Race Overview
This is THE XC Event of the Apple Blossom Weekend. The course is designed by trail-building and XC legend (he'll hate us for saying that!) Evan Plews.
Come and test yourself on a fantastic mix of natural singletrack, twin-track forest roads, hand-made singletrack, and flowing trails through some of the most beautiful terrain in North Central Washington. You'll visit the valleys of the Balsamroots, climb to the heavens of twin peaks, and descend some serious flows that will wrap you up like a wet burrito. So, expect lung and thigh busting climbs that are rewarded with epic grin-inducing descents.
Race Overview
The race stages at Kenzies landing and will encompass Sage Hills, Horselake Preserve, Twin Peaks and No.2 Canyon. The varied terrain and weather conditions make this race a real challenge even for professional riders. Diferent kind of soil, peaking mountains and narrow singletrack, and 8,000 of elevation gain will realize all your potential and raise it up to a new level!
