I camped out there years ago. I did not ride any trails but they looked like hard pack with some sand. There are very few trees and I did not see any big climbs but it did look like a geat trail. I hope I can make it out there for the race it is a great place to visit. Just think of the Grand Canyon on a very small scale.

Looks like a good venue, but no races anywhere even close to the north side of DFW? Do most of the people making the decisions live down south or are there scheduling issues with IDB, JB, Erwin,.... etc?

I'm surprised to see that Boulder was not included again. Parking issues? I would have liked to seen Boulder instead of CHSP. Oh well...
Also don't understand why there is no break between Palo Duro and Sansom.

We where wokring with the city of Dallas to work out a parking soultion but ran into a snag. We will contiune to work towards getting boulder to where it is a viable XC race venue but yes parking is a large part of it. It was the parking soultion that fell through.
As for the dates with Palo Duro we are partnering with the Old Tascosa Cycling Club (they will be the club hosting the event) and they picked the date that was best for them. Hopefully next year with ealier planning we will be able to avoid the back to back weekends

Do we know what the start times and distances are for each class?
Cat 1 9am 3 laps
Cat 11 am 2 laps
Cat 3 Noon or 1pm 1 lap (I am leaning towards 1 o'clock)
Distances will vary but plan for between 8-12miles per lap
all of this information is very raw and maybe tweaked abit so please bear with us while we get everything hammered out. The information above is what we did last year.
