Does anyone know if this place is open to ride during the week and weekend?  I will be driving through the area soon and would love to get an early pre-ride in.

Thanks

So, is that a 7/8ths mile course or 7-8 miles course?

Sorry.  It is between 7 & 8 miles.  There is a meadow section that we sometimes reroute depending on rain, and a switchback section we sometimes take out depending on course conditions.

Don't apologize!  Who would want to run a 7/8 mile course.  :)

Now to see if I can get some guys interested in doing the race.

I have done a pre-ride 2 1/2 times. (the 1/2 was at night, very cool). The first time I rode it was the day after an extended rain, to my surprise. Most of the trails were open and fine. The more technical sections were closed that day. When I came back a week later, everything was open and awesome. Hopefully everything will be included in the race - just have to pace yourself since there are lots of places to just go all out.

Bicycle Race is a single by the English rock band
Queen. It was released on their 1978 album Jazz
and written by Queen's frontman Freddie Mercury.
It was released as a double A-side single together
with the song "Fat Bottomed Girls". The song is
notable for its video featuring a bicycle race
with nude women at Wimbledon Stadium.
