The course has a south addition that I haven't raced before, bringing the lap to 2.9 miles according to Martin. We both turned 16 minute laps and Martin got in one almost 15 minute even lap. Heard Sport will turn 5, maybe 6 laps.
The race will be run clockwise which is opposite how I've raced out there before. Area 7 was my first xc race, a training race put on by John in March 03. I race my Giant Sedona comfort bike, being over geared and out of shape, I turned two 18 and a 19 minute lap on an even shorter course.
The only ttfs are the old rutted trail. Martin wacked in a line following the path bikes are taking now, crossing the old line multiple times. The old has grass camophlaging it. I expect a couple endos for those not seeing the ruts. Otherwise, this will be a speed course with one climb that put a burn in my legs. This is a beginner friendly course.
Also, watch out for these:
I found that in my rear tire when I got home. Suggest you check your Slime, Stans, or spare tube.

Dale... any suggestion on gearing in comparison to gearing for Tranquility?
Tranquility or Manawa would work. I would suggest gearing towards Manawa. There are a couple long open sections like Manawa, two 100+ yd climbs, one you could probably spin, the other periodic standing, and some short power climbs elsewhere.
