What can families do?
There is a playground close to the start/finish line. The race course circles around Gibson Lake which is stocked with catfish and trout. The park is also home to ducks, horses, geese, pigs, cows, chickens and even llamas! If hiking is your thing, the Park Loop trail makes a scenic 3-mile trek around the entire perimeter of Gibson Ranch Park, or you can hike along the 2-mile Dry Creek trail.

What is there to eat?
El Fira will have their wood-fired oven out at this race! Here's the menu:


Will there be beer?
Why yes... yes there will! Enjoy fresh, local, craft beer from Track 7 Brewing Company while supporting the Folsom Auburn Trail Rider Action Coalition (FATRAC). Beers are $5, or $4 if you bring your own cup!


What if I don't have a CX bike?
Amaincycling.com has you covered! They are bringing a demo fleet of Specialized Crux Expert (carbon!) cyclocross bikes out to the races this year. It's $40 for a single race, or $75 for the whole day to borrow this $4,700 bike... and you won't even have to clean it when you're done! They have sizes 52, 54, 56, & 58. Call Evan at (530) 815-4311 to reserve your bike in advance.

Course description: The Gibson Ranch course gets a fast pavement start before diving off into grassy rolling hills. Steady climbs are met with rewarding descents and fast turns before dropping down onto the old horse racing track. Once off the track we hit up the hillside for some technical work and a drop down into the creek for a natural barrier climb out.

Race support: Pete Tipshus, owner of Happy Trails Mechanical Support and long-time supporter of Sacramento Cyclocross, will be out at this race if you have a last-minute bike crisis. If you take advantage of his help, please send a little love his way since he donates his time, skills and supplies to support our races.
