Course details...
Almost identical to 2002 plus some freshly cut single track!
And the Flower Trail is in...
around 14 miles, rolling, no major climbing, fun & fast
single and double track... Fast lap times last year were about
1 hour for 14 miles.... See the course information below for
detailed directions based on last year's course.
The 2003 24 Hours of 9 Mile Course was be a combination of the
course from the previous four years and very similar to the
2002 course. The length was approximately 14 miles and included
a mix of singletrack and open ski trail for a fast and relatively
flat course. Lap times for the fastest riders should be near
the 1 hour mark.
