It’s mostly Sand. Not even real Dirt!! seriously dust particulate will give riders lung cancer!!
This event is out of control and should not even be legal. Really not recommended. Dry. Dusty. Toxic Air particulate. Horrible for lung health of the athletes riding in a cloud of dust and sand.
Riders who think they are “fast” go out of control, skidding!! spewing clouds of sand and dust, blinding all the riders behind them. This skidding and tearing up the trail should make a rider disqualified. However it is a typical cheating technique for local SoCal racing teams...
Simply No class at all. Most People were very Rude, Mean spirited, they would demand to pass, and then when I would catch up to them again because of their out of control reckless riding, Skidding, then would react with disrespect and insults that they had to pass me again!
I would definitely never return. Ever. This event needs to be taken away from USA cycling.
Ride anywhere else and you will be better off.
I love real mountain biking. this is skidding and tearing of trails is closely monitored and illegal at most respected mountain biking events.

The worst event I have...

The race route has been improved with the addition of several fast bermed sections that add to the finish. I've never camped here, but the idea of doing that and getting here early for the race has always...
