2012 Lemurian Shasta Classic

The new website is up for this year's Lemurian Shasta Classic:

Whiskeytown is renowned for it excellent single track, flume trails and decomposed granite. All courses make maximum use of single track. Add in a post-race swim in beautiful Whiskeytown Lake and you’ve got the ingredients for a perfect day!

• Long Course: 26 miles, 4,300 ft of climbing. More than 50 % single track.
• Intermediate Course: 20 miles, 3800 ft of elevation gain. Follows much of the long course, but eliminates the 6 mi. Shasta Mine Trail loop.
• Short Course: 8 miles, 4 mi gentle ascent on dirt road followed by 4 mile single track descent. Expect a couple of technical spots on the way down.

This year's Classic will be on Saturday, April 28, 2012 at Whiskeytown NRA (about 15 miles west of Redding).

Thank you to all the racers and supporters of CCCX MTB Cross Country racing over the years!  The race series has been a success due to all the great riders and friends who make the competitions so fun.

Racing starts at 9:00 a.m. sharp with the Category 3 divisions, who will race 3 laps of the CCCX XC loop. Then at 11:00 a.m. Category 1 & 2 divisions will take to course.  Cat. 2 riders will do 4 laps and the Cat. 1 riders will be racing 5 laps.

Please arrive early to check in and fill out your standard USA Cycling release form, and get your race number.  Allow enough time to register and warm up so you are ready to hit the trails legs firing fast.  The first race of the series is always a busy time at registration, so please arrive extra early for this race #1.
