Right? Especially with the trail going right by as seen in the pic.
at the 2021 Bear Creek race, we went through the parking lot and into the trails right next to the wedding area. This will be fun.

I wouldn’t expect them to put up anything for a while. They’re not on top of this stuff. Probably late May early June.
The schedule for nationals has been released:

Ironic I posted this the day I snapped my ACL.
Anyone else racing Bear Creek this weekend?? Same loop as nationals. So far 240ish pre regs.
I pre rode last weekend and it’s a good loop. Not the old bear creek but still pretty good. It’s got some new berms and flow sections, a fair amount of climbing, and the heckle pit is back. It’s a short loop at under 4 miles, but cat 1 is doing 4 laps so I think the times will be over 1:45 for most. Winners may be closer to 1:30.

It’s a great venue with the facilities for the resort (nice bathrooms, food, drinks, etc). And it’s supposed to be nice and cool on Sunday. Reg closes tonight at midnight.

The time blows. I was annoyed when I saw that but 🤷

Dropping back to Cat 3 to hopefully get a podium or two before this season ends so I don't get too downtrodden on this bike racing thing.
