| For those of you who thought about staying away due to last year's jackhammer trails, you have nothing to fear this year. The trails are as smooth as a baby's tushie. When we rode the course it was a little damp and tacky; however, if it is at all dry the day of the race this thing is going to be BLAZING fast! If you love a fast, smooth track loaded with roller coasters and very little technicals, you will LOVE this year's Cruise the Blues course. I measured the course at 13.15 miles. It is about half wooded and half field/pasture with NO cow trails to ride over. Doug has worked very hard to clear away a great, great trail. It is almost all singletrack but wide enough for passing. I tried to take a good variety of photos.. but didn't get many of inside the woods. Doug has added a few miles of woods to the North and they are very very fun! It is one, long roller coaster with a few log crossings and bridges thrown in. It is very hard to explain how cool that section is. If you want a fun ride, or to pre ride, the course will still be open this coming weekend (Aug 21). For more information about the race, go to: http://www.cruisetheblues.com/ |
