The course included rollercoaster style single track and fast fire road climbs. One middle school lap was approximately 3.4 miles with 300 feet of climbing. “Our goal this season was to break into the top 20, but the race results have far exceeded our expectations and we are so proud of this team,” said Team Director Tony Zentil. The team will participate in their last race in Tehachapi on Saturday, May 7, 2016.
