Well, it's a little late to tell you this, but the trail at Keystone is marked. Orange ribbons on your left. Ray is going out this week to put arrows up. There aren't many places to get off-track, but I know you'll try. The race will actually start at the bottom of the hill on the paved road that is, I think, called old highway 151. Racers will ride up the hill on pavement and turn onto the gravel drive into the mtb trail parking area and then left onto the trail. The course is about 6 miles long. Cat 3 will do 1.5 laps; Cat 2 will do 2.5; Cat 1, 3.5.
It's rocky and technical during much of the course and there are several short, rocky climbs. I rode it on Sunday and it was pretty muddy. But Ray called yesterday and said the day of sunshine has already begun to dry out the trail. He's been out doing a lot of trail maintenance, so with the predicted sunny days we're supposed to get all week the course should be perfect this Sunday.
Which means I'm going to get my ass kicked again and Jeff St. Clair is going to run away from the Cat 2's.
See you'all on Sunday. Should be fun.
