At the end of the first run, competitors will enter into the transition area which will be located in the gravel lot across from the "climbers" parking area. After mounting their bikes, competitors will race down the Road Side Trail for approximately 3 miles until it intersects with the Clay Furnace Road. Following the edge of the C.F. Road for only about 100yds, racers will then turn left back into the woods on the Cross-Country Ski Trail. After taking another left onto the Intermediate Loop, racers will tackle a short descent before climbing back up to the ridge top and heading onto the Upper Reservoir Trail.
The bike course will then turn right and descend a gravel and dirt road towards the Clay Furnace area. After reaching the bottom of this hill racers will grind back up to the ridge top on the single and dual track Laurel Meadows Trail until they intersect again with the Road Side Trail near the reservoir. The bike course ends with a final stretch along the Road Side Trail back to the transition area. The bike course is mildly technical and fast with two notable climbs.
Upon completion of the bike course, participants will re-enter the transition area, drop their bikes, and head out for a second loop of the opening run before finishing on the trail below the transition area.
