"This year the course is going to test all of your skills, the choice to make it longer was mainly due to trail damage with 100+ riders over two hours, but also to show riders more of McLeans trails. And yes Ive read the rule book, and it says, Cross Country - Short Course, I intend to do just that. I have also added some newer "Special Test" sections for the Intermediates, Experts & Pros which will have a 2nd check at the end for them".
Mitch says to expect a 20-25KM loop with NO gas checks for the main CMA. It is a technical yet fun course with many breaks along the way, however he expects midpack novice riders to do 1-2 laps.
MAIN CMA COURSE DETAILS
- 25KM
- 11AM START
- NO PARADE LAP
- Special MANDATORY Test section for Inter/Exp/PRO
- Technical with sizable climbs and downhills
- No Gas Check (Bail out Point at 1/3 Marker)
- Lower Levels will have some difficulty on hill climbs
- Small Wheel (125ttr & CR150) will have problems.
Additionally this year Mitch is going to have Kilometer marker signs along the way so you can pace yourself & identify spots during the course for bench racing and as precautionary as there are no parade laps.
With the CMA license at a lower rate and riding season coming to a end as soon as the snow flys, Mitch hopes the attendance of Mclean will be as good as in 2010.
