Course Description |
Out and back, rolling hills. Starts and finishes on grass, the remainder is dirt trail. |
Registration is at the Parking Lot next to the UCSC Firestation as it was last year." (not at the grass soccer fields behind the pool.") Start/Finish upper meadow above firehouse. Loop course consists of rolling dirt trails through redwood trees, meadows. |
One of the best in the series. Beautiful course. Ugly start. Winding trails (dirt, crushed rock, rocky dirt, no pavement). Challenging hills. Past lakes. Through the woods. And that dam finish. |
Standard Golden Gate loop course. Beautiful meadows, eucalyptus-lined trails, with varied terrain. Paved bike path eliminated; Spikes permitted. |
|
|
Very hilly mix of grass, dirt, sand, and pavement (no spikes). Start/finish on Paul Goode Field just North and below Julius Kahn Playground. Same course as 2002. |
Same course as last year. Rolling hills on dirt roads surrounded by oak trees. |
|
The course circles around the hill at Shoreline park and loops the golf course. 80% dirt trails and 20% paved trail (no spikes). Same course as 2001. |
New Course this year. We start near Miwok Meadows on the fire road and finish in Miwok Meadows. The course covers much of the old course but does not include the road.
|
Start/finish returns to Lindley Meadow. Standard Golden Gate loop course used for the last 16 years. Beautiful meadows, eucalyptus-lined trails, with varied terrain. Paved bike path eliminated; Lindley Meadow will have hay bales. Spikes permitted. Same course as 2002. |
