The Bidwell Forest Short-Track Mountain Bike Race

DOUBLE POINT NIGHT!!

Monday, July 30, 6:00 PM

This event occured in the past

This race will start on the north side of the 5-Mile Recreation Area - near the dirt parking lot. Registration will open at 5:30pm for the 6:00pm start. The course will run through the single-track trails in "The Forest" in Upper Bidwell Park. This is an area just north of the 5-Mile Recreation Area - in between the 5-Mile and the entry to the North Rim Trail Parking Area. The course is about 1.1 miles in length per lap......and is almost all single-track. The race will start and finish near the dirt parking area on the north end of 5-Mile, will be 40 minutes PLUS 2 laps. And, again, the course is about 1.1 miles in length, very shaded, and is ALL FLAT - no hills. The Course will be marked with flour arrows on the ground. We will race the course for 40 minutes, at which point I will give you the 2 laps to go sign. GREAT for beginners and Juniors - or those just wanting to get out on your mountain bikes for a spin! Can definitely use a cyclocross bike - or even a sturdy road bike if you wanted. I will bring out water, as usual. For an approximate map of the course, please visit the MapMyRide link at:
