New pics of Cytomax Spring Classic Course

[mtnbikej]

I had linked some of these in another thread, but the pictures were pretty small and hard to see.

Here is a repost of that thread.

Check it out.....finished the new singletrack yesterday. We ended up building 1.6 miles of new singletrack for the Cytomax Spring Classic. A few spots still need a little bit of tweaking, but all in all the new traill.


We will be having two practice days at the Flying B Ranch for the Cytomax
Spring Mountain Bike Classic. The first practice day will be on Sunday,
April 9th and the second practice day will be Saturday, April 15th. There
will be $5.00 entrance fee to enter the Flying B.

Sign up and support XC racing in Orange County.

Start of the DH/DS portion of the course....

Nice banked turn to carry some speed......

One of the 5 or 6 jumps in the DH/DS section....

Another banked turn into another jump......

Heading into the drop away jump.....

Can be aired out......here I am showing it can be just rolled....

New singltrack climb....easier than it looks......

My wife is not great at switchbacks, but was able to clean most of these....

Singletrack turn around the tree......

So far still climbalble in the middle ring.....

Flatter than it looks......

Switchback into a tree tunnel........

I think it gives the trail character.....

MOre singletrack to a switchback.....

The uphill switchbacks are huge.....

Still middle ring......

Fast DH seciton.....kinda feels like San Juan Trail.....narrow, blind, outside turn......

You carry some good speed through here.....

Makes this climb really easy.....

Back down hill......

See how the trail meanders through the grass and trees.....

We used about as much of this prarie as we could......

I think it looks cool....

More headed downhill....

Into the mulch pit......

Needs some tweeking in here.....

 

[mtnbikej]

Finally exiting the mulch pile.....

Into a little more downhill........

Into even more downhill.....watch out in here....some of the turns are tricky....

Another turn that is tricky......

rocks are our friends. Course still looks fun and having lots of singletrack in a race makes it tough. I still need to register for this](*,)

The new single track looks great. What time can you ride it on the practice days and can people not doing the event come and ride it on those days?

I got a feeling I'm going to eat crap on one of those singletrack sections, oh well.
