XC SUNDAY
SUNDAY | MARCH 14th
XC 20 Mile Presented by Landis Cyclery
Sunday’s XC 20 presented by Landis Cyclery offers a fast, punchy 20 mile cross country mountain bike course. The course follows the past Enduro course but it starts with a parade loop through the expo and then out the service road making for plenty of passing room. Racers will hit the Pemberton connector. The route offers 2 awesome descents; Bluff Trail – flowy, kitty litter corners and Scenice – a nice rocky climb and a sweet downhill. The tail end of the race will take riders across McDowell Mtn Park Dr onto the park’s service road to set you up for the steep climb up the back of the Tech. Loop. Racers will finish downhill coming out at the Tech. Loop TH.
Landis Cyclery is the oldest bike shop in the state, is family owned and operated just like the Specialized Cactus Cup!

XC 20 MILES – ONE TOUGH TWENTY
Some of you might recognize the route—it’s based on the former enduro course with a few additions! This time, it’s all race, not just the downhill portions. The loop packs in everything the old enduro course had to offer; fast flow, technical sections, and a couple of climbs that will surprise you on the final day of racing.
