A Big Weekend of Cross at Sac REVISED
A Big Weekend of Cross at Sac
This weekend (Nov 12-13) Sacramento CX will be hosting the Norcal District Championship at Granite Beach on Saturday. Then on Sunday, we will have the Sac CX Finals at Negro Bar.
The Districts Course at Granite Beach will explore some new territory at this venue with some climbing and the “Valley of Death”. Expect a fast and sandy course with laps in the 8-10 minute range. This year Sac Cyclocross and Voler will be awarding District Champion jerseys to the winners of all the Champion Events.
Sundays Sac CX Finals at Negro Bar will have $3500 in prizes, and will count for double points. We will also be giving out the Sac Series Overall Prizes and the Sac CX Winner’s Jerseys. And there’s the All Around Trophy as well.

Does this have singletrack because they wanted to include singletrack or because there was no other way to route the course without singletrack?
