Course Map:  Course subject to change


Course Description:

The proposed course begins at the top of the hill on Sundevil Way.  Riders will proceed north entering the park and take the single track the splits off the main road on the right.  Climb the single track until you reach the Nighthawk Trail.  Take a left for a downhill run to Hilltop Community Park and turn right on to the street.  Follow the course markings to the base of Rasmussen Way and re-enter the park.  Follow the course on to the service road for a long steady climb to the summit.  You will pass by the sign for the Nighthawk Trail again on the service road and after reaching the turn-around point near the summit will head downhill and take the left on to the Nighthawk Trail.  This section of trail is steep and full of cobble so use caution.  Less experience riders may want to dismount.  The trail flattens out for a short while and then drops down another steep, loose section of trail.  You are now at ‘the saddle’ on the Little Black Loop Trail.  Follow this single track down a long gently sloping valley.  You’ll traverse the dip in a steep down and up section and re-enter the Nighthawk Trail.  Turning left will head you back towards Sundevil Way.  If this is your lap to finish you will take a left on the single track marked ‘Sundevil Way’ back down hill to the finish line.  If you’re going for two laps just continue down hill on the Nighthawk Trail toward Hilltop Community Park and do it again.
