Location: McMenamins Edgefield- 2126 SW Halsey St. Troutdale, OR 97060

Course Description: We have a smorgasbord of surfaces and planes for you to ride on. There are gravel golf cart paths and walking paths, asphalt road and a small section of asphalt walking path. There is an extremely challenging off camber run up, a grass covered hill you’ll ride down twice and up once, and a second steep run up. You’ll have the experience of some grassy field riding, off camber grass, some grass single track, and a tight technical section to test your bike handling skills. This is a great course that will challenge all of your cyclocross skills and fitness equally. *Please note the course profile on the course map.*
