The awesome Nevada City Dirt Classic XC Race Series is back again this year!!! Race number one was located on private land in Grass Valley, California, and was one of the best XC courses I have ever raced. The five mile loop included grueling climbs and very fun technical descents. Thank you to the land owner, Ron Sanchez, for letting YBONC use his land for the race, these trails are NOT open to the public at any other time.
This was my first race since getting back on my bike after the injury and I was super stoked to get first place in the CAT 2 15-18 division, we did three laps on the fun but exhausting loop, with around 700 feet of climbing per lap.
The next race in the series will be on Saturday, June 29th at the Upper Pioneer and Hallelujah Trail on Forest Service land in the Tahoe National Forest. It will be tons of fun and supports local youth cycling groups and mountain biking opportunities in the area! For more info go to YBONC. There was a great turn out at the first race in the series and some professional riders including Jason Moeschler came out!
