Mileage Breakdown for Counting Coup

[sheclimbs]

I'm sure this information is buried in the forums somewhere...
Does anyone know the mileage of the various segments of the course?

Thanks so much.


1. Blackstar Canyon Road to the top of the Silverado Motorway – dirt fire road with many steep climbs.

2. Silverado Motorway to Aid Station – downhill, technical single track.

3. Aid Station to Santiago Peak – almost all uphill climbing on some pavement with stream crossings then dirt fire road.

4. Santiago Peak to the Holy Jim Trail – steep, technical, downhill dirt fire road.

5. Holy Jim Trail to Trabuco Creak Trail – downhill, technical single track with stream crossings. After you reach the finish line.

There is still a time cut off for finishing... they don't let you stay out there all night

It's a pretty good haul...

The first part is pretty tough cause it's hard (for me, at least) to ride. Lots of loose rocks..

Then you have that little descent once you round the corner. Then you start climbing up the switchbacks. Every corner is a false peak. You think you're there, but, you're not.



Sorry, I mean, it's wonderful!

Technoviking approves of the Counting Coup and has this message.......

[jcampbell]

the ride to the peak isn't that bad. There is one rocky section that sucks and then on the second peak it gets a little steep for 10 yards or so.

Don't forget the big biting flies. They don't seem to show up till the last couple miles to the peak.

I agree, that whole stretch is slow going because of the loose rock. After Modjeska Peak it's a real big brain drain with all the switches and you keep thinking this is the last one, last one for sure, no this time for sure...
