District Points  Awarded to top 15 in A, Wom, Mas, Jr, on 23-point scale (same as Central Coast).  With almost 600 points up for grabs, we offer the most points of any race north of Santa Cruz this year.

Course   Same course as the past two years. This fast, hilly 2 km loop emphasizes speed and dismount skill. The course features a paved climb, hard pack fire roads, some bumpy doubletrack, several dismounts, a 20-meter runup and a 50-m "jungle cross" running section. Elevation gain is about 150 feet per lap. Spectators will enjoy a panoramic view of vineyards and the Napa Valley from the top of the course.
