So the folks at CCCX have come through on the details about their 2006 downhill series. To be held monthly starting in August at Toro Park near Monterey, the series will have five races. Courses will vary from month to month but are described as "Courses will consist of Single-track, Fire Roads, Natural Obstacles, Technical Sections, Some routes may have Pedal Sections, The trails in this park have Steep Sections and lots of Elevation, Most trails will favor a Medium Range Bike and not a Ski Resort DH Rig.

There will be medals for top finishers in each group, money for top 3 fastest times each race and plaques for series winners (5 deep).
