Riders start on a paved climb, turn right at the top of the park and ride up Road 2060 to Horn Gap Trail. From there, it's a single-track climb up to Ashland Loop Road, where the high-speed fun begins! The Loop Road is slightly downhill to Four Corners, and then it's nearly all singletrack, miles and miles of it, back to the finish line.
