The race loop is CLOCKWISE on both Dwelling and VMT. For the opening lap riders will head straight down Hamilton's Hop to space out before hitting the Dwelling Trail. Riders will enter Dwelling to the left and ride clockwise up to the bench at the top of the Flow Trails, following the advanced line up to the top. Riders will descend the Rock and Roll Flow Trail down to the bottom and continue riding Dwelling clockwise, using intermediate lines on the remainder of the Dwelling Trail.

Riders exit Dwelling to Hamilton's Hop, cross the bridge and turn left onto Mosquito Flats. The course follows Mosquito Flats to the Mosquito Bite/Van Michael Trail, entering in the CLOCKWISE direction over the wooden boardwalks. Riders will complete the Van Michael Trail clockwise, but will skip Kevorkian Pass and the 420 climb.

Once done with VMT, riders will take a left onto Mosquito Flats and ride back towards the parking lot. Riders will take a left on Hamiltons Hop, then left again to an access trail that goes around the metal building and around the paved portion of the parking lot. Teammate exchanges can take place anywhere along the parking lot loop.

For subsequent laps, riders will take a left onto Creekside Mosquito Flats on their way to Dwelling.

Total distance (with the loop around the parking lot) is approximately 8.3 miles with roughly 780' of elevation gain per lap. This course configuration offers longer climbs but also longer descent sections and some fun jumps and flow on Dwelling and VMT. The clockwise direction will also allow for Friday pre-riding in the race direction. Compared to last year's course, it is about 4/10ths of a mile longer with about 50' more elevation gain, so expect lap times to be a minute or two slower than in 2020.
