STAGES (see map below):
COURSE IS HERE:
* Roll out from corner of N 5th Ave. W and W 13th St. in the Antenna Farms over the dirt pile and through the woods. Turn left on E Orange St., then right on W 9th St. Turn Left on Observation Rd, then left onto the Duluth Traverse; continue to stage 1 start at the top.
- Stage 1: OBSERVATION ---> Twin Ponds. Watch out - construction at the lot at the bottom! Don't block traffic or try to help the construction workers.
* transit to stage 2: Cross the bridge over the ponds, continue onto the Enger section of the Duluth Traverse. Start of stage 2 at W 5th St.
- Stage 2: ENGER ---> CRAFT CONNECTOR ---> W 3rd St: Stay LEFT at the fork to get onto the Craft Connector! Rocks abound, but there are ride-arounds for most of the super chunky bits.
* transit to stage 3: W 3rd St to Antenna Farm. Head East on W 3rd St, then climb to W 4th St. via 13th Ave W. Continue east on W 4th St, then turn left on N 7th Ave. W. YES, it's a stairway. Continue up for 3 blocks, then turn right on Skyline Parkway. Turn left on N 2nd Ave W, left on Red Rock Trail, then stay left to continue to Antenna Farm Connector.
- Stage 3: ANTENNA FARM high point ---> W 8th St. Some pedally bits. This is a rocky section and can be fast if you are fast. There are opportunities for B-keeping. Wear tin foil under your helmet to stave off RF from the radio towers.
