You probably won't find any races with a bunch of climbing locally. There are XC races, but those don't have a ton of climbing.

Why pay for short races if you want to do endurance? Just go out and train for free.

^ good point. i could just ride local trails at race intensity. on a scale of 1-10, how hard is the traverse?

try doing the big bear series xc the races are all over you will meet great people. I am finding that doing a series will make you commit to training and improve on your times.

Yes! I'll be doing Team Big Bear So-Cal State Cross Country & Super D series. Other than CC this will be my first race since 1995! There are 8 races in the series and the first race is this Sunday at Bonelli Park, San Dimas.
