FINAL RESULTS!!

14 Oct

Thanks to all the volunteers and participants. The goal of our event team is to provide challenging, scenic trails that make for fast, fun racing.  This year over 150 people were able to join us in races held in Arcata on Saturday October 8th, 2011 and in Willow Creek Sunday October 9th, 2011.  We intend to keep growing this race each year to make it one of the highlights of the racing calendar in California.

This year we also created the King and Queen of the Ridge Competition to showcase the best individual performances over the weekend. With challenging and technical Cross Country and Short Track to flowing, fast Super D and Downhill only a handful of racers could perform well in all categories. If a racer entered 3 of 4 events they were in the competition for King or Queen of the Ridge.  Congratulations to this years winners:

Queen of the Ridge Joanna Bechtel-UC Berkeley (1st XC, 2nd Short Track, 3rd Super D)

King of the Ridge Matt Schiff Humboldt State University (1st collegiate XC and 2nd overall, 2nd Short Track, sixth Super D)

FESTIVAL and RACES ARE ON!

6 Oct

Don’t worry about the rain, the courses are open, in good shape and we are ready to go! The rain that blew through Arcata is gone, the sun is shining and the trails are ready for racing. The rain has improved traction on the course for both Saturday races in Arcata and Sunday races in Willow Creek.

IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT

The US Forest Service requires all Sunday racers to clean all bike tires of mud prior to arriving in Willow Creek for Sunday’s events. To prevent the spread of Sudden Oak Death there will be a bike wash available at the conclusion of Saturday’s events in Arcata. A wash station will be a mandatory stop for all racers. After the bike wash, an attendant will place a colored band on the handlebars of each bike, thereby designating it clean. Bike Wash will be at the Arcata event on Saturday in Redwood Park and on Sunday A.M. in Hawkins Bar. No colored band: No racing: No exceptions on Sunday. USFS rules.

Directions:

Saturday Events

Sunday Events From Arcata to the Downhill Course

Highway 299 east 35 miles to Willow Creek, get gas and supplies if necessary, continue 10 miles to Hawkins Bar.  Turn left on Denny Road.  Look for Simon Legrees on your left.  That’s your turn.  Immediately after crossing the Trinity River, take another left, staying on the main road.  Another mile or two later, at a hard right switchback, take a left onto what appears to be a secondary road, keeping the hillside to your right side. 

8 miles later, at the top of the ridge, take a left and follow the ridge.  Take this road until the closure sign, turn right on gravel down to Horse Linto Campground. Here are some directions to the downhill finish area. The start is approximately 3.5 miles up the main fire road leading out of the campground. Stay to the left at the junction 100 yds out of the campground.

Expect a BIGGER and Better Ridge Trail Festival for 2011

14 Jul

The 2nd annual Ridge Trail Festival will be held Saturday October 8th, 2011 at Redwood Park in Arcata.  The Festival is designed to bring together the community in support of the Arcata Ridge Trail, a multi-user trail that will connect the southern and northern parts of Arcata through the Arcata Community Forest. This project highlights the best of Humboldt County; a widely supported public/private partnership to protect open space, provide recreational access for multiple user groups (hikers, bikers, equestrians) and ensure long-term resource conservation indefinitely.

The festival will feature a full day of events including:  a beer festival featuring local breweries, local bands and a local food BBQ; vendor booths, bicycle demos, a mtn. bike learning center, and kids ride, Citizen’s Fun Ride and 5k run/walk, X-Country and Super D Mtn. Bike races. This is a USA Cycling event, but one day licenses are available. To make the day even better 100% of the proceeds go to benefit the Arcata Ridge Trail project.

For questions about the Festival contact Event Director Kirk Cohune at kcohune AT gmail.com.  Race registration will be at all Humboldt County bike shops until Friday, October 7th at 6 P.M., or in person at the event beginning at 8 A.M. and until 1 hour before each event, and on line at http://www.active.com     (Use the keyword search Ridge Trail Festival).
