ELINGS PARK / SANTA BARBARA, CA

Saturday & Sunday - September 27th and 28th

FREE Shimano Kids Race Sunday – September 28th

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS:

Cross Country:

Probably the most fun course of the series. This course is 80% fun, fast, flowing single track. The climbs are short with a total elevation gain per lap of 800 feet. The views of the ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains make this 6 mile long course a real jewel.

Super D:
Just like the cross country course, it is fun, fast flowing single track with limited climbing. The Super D race will be a time trial start.

Downhill:
This will be a two run format. Starting with a spectacular view of the ocean from the start ramp, this course is fast, flowing and non-technical. Ed Brown and his crew have continued to add features making this course lots of fun.

Dual Slalom:
Old school would be the way to describe this slalom course. Features will be small and non-intimidating with traditional slalom turns mixed in.
