SUPER-D: Friday 10/22, 3:30PM. Sign-up 2:00-3:00, at the finish line

Follow the signs from below the high school. DO NOT PARK AT THE SCHOOL OR ON THE SCHOOL DISTRICT LOT. The finish line is 1/2 mile out Weaver Bolly Rd, continue straight on the dirt road past the stop sign on Victory Lane below the school.

The course is some of the upper 2/3 of the Downhill course, then veers onto a 4-mile section of the famed flume trails of our cross-country course for a total of 7+ miles of swooping, speeding, roller-coaster ride fun!! It's a real run-what-ya-brung course with riders doing well on all types of bikes: full on downhill rigs, cross-country bikes and everything in between. It's a long one, fastest time on this course back in the spring was 26 minutes!

We will not be running a practice shuttle, but racers with suitable vehicles (4 wheel-drive) are welcome to shuttle themselves. Follow the "Shuttle" arrows up to the top.

DOWNHILL, Sunday, 10/24, 12 NOON, Race day registration is 9am to 11am First timed race runs begin at 12 noon.

It's a best of 2 runs format. You do not have to take a second race run if you don't want to.

Sign-up and shuttle pick-up is at the high school 321 Victory Lane, Weaverville.

We'll have sign-up at the high school on Saturday after the cross-country is over, probably by 1:30PM. Please do not approach our staff while they're trying to score the cross-country. We'll put up a sign "DOWNHILL REGISTRATION OPEN" when we're ready.

DOWNHILL SHUTTLES: We will not be running our practice shuttle on Saturday, but registered riders with suitable vehicles (4 wheel-drive) are welcome to shuttle themselves. Follow the "Shuttle" arrows up to the top.

Our practice shuttles will start on race day at 9am at the High School. Riders must ride from the finish line to the High School after each practice and after each race run. It's only a couple of miles and is almost all downhill. After your first race run please don't hang around the finish---please get back to the school and onto a shuttle ASAP so that everyone can end their day early.

DOWNHILL COURSE: The course starts way up Weaver Bolly Mountain where riders on the start-line can take in the view of all of Weaverville before launching down. Below is plenty of steep stuff, a few jumps and drops, some more hang-off-the-back steep stuff, some wide-open spin-a-big-ring fire-road, a drop-off through a creek and finally a roller-coaster ride of twisting-turning single-track to the finish
