There will be no sag support (except in case of total breakdown or emergency).
Support personnel will be stationed at 5 rest stops along the course. Riders will compete in games of chance and skill (darts, horseshoes, helmet toss and Blackjack cards). Those with the highest combined score will win prizes. We will also have a costume contest for the best-dressed toad. You must make the checkpoints in a reasonable time or you will not be allowed to continue. We have many prizes to award so a high percentage of participants will win something (tires, a shock, bars, stems, gift certificates and other accessories).
No prize bags will be provided as was done at the Pow Wow.
Food and drink will be provided after the event. Alcohol is not allowed at the park and we ask that you do not litter. Please help us by doing your part to keep the trails and park clean during and after the event.
The County of Orange Parks Dept. charges a $ 4.00 park entrance fee so car-pooling is encouraged.
The park has showers and don't forget to bring a beach chair.
See the map on the back of this page for the location of the staging and parking areas. Funds raised by this event will be used to support our goals of maintaining the trails of the Trabuco District of the Cleveland National Forest and providing low cost mountain biking events for the public.
