Race Overview
|
The 2023 LaGrange Classic Mountain Bike Race in Weaverville, CA will be held on June 3, 2023, with three courses for you to choose from, Elite, Sport and Intermediate. Event organizer, the Trinity Trail Alliance, is looking forward to presenting a pre-race downtown procession, a challenging one-day mountain bike race on the Weaver Basin Trail System, and a celebration in Lowden Park in the afternoon.
All three courses have been changed from previous incarnations to include the climb up Browder and then descend down Blue Lead at the beginning of each course. Elite course riders get the addition of Lower Sweepstakes and the removal of the McKenzie climb. Racers may sign-up for a race, purchase T-shirts and reserve campsites at Bikereg.com after January 2023. Lowden Park will again be the location for fun weekend activities and camping, along with the awards ceremony after the race. Each year TTA has made efforts to improve the park event by adding more activities and vendors. Camping and RV parking will be available in Lowden Park during the race weekend for mountain bike racers and can be reserved on Bikereg.com. USFS campsites in Trinity County may be reserved at Recreation.gov or by calling 877-444-6777. TTA works in coordination with the US Forest Service and other community services and organizations to make the best race event possible. This event is operating under a special uses permit with the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. This institution is an equal opportunity provider. T-shirts may be available to purchase at Lowden Park on June 2nd and 3rd while supplies last. All courses are on public trails, which will remain open to trail users during the race. Please keep alert for walkers, runners, equestrian riders, and other riders. All trails are multi-use and bidirectional. Be considerate and be prepared to yield (IMBA Responsible Riding) to other users. Caution - on every course expect sections of tight single track that will make passing problematic. On the race routes, you will ride through conifer forests and oak woodlands, on historic mining ditches and challenging single track trails. We made every effort to avoid forest roads. The course will be well signed but you must pay attention as all four race courses overlap. The Weaver Basin Trail System was the location of the very successful World Endurance Mountain Bike Organization (WEMBO) 24 Hour Solo World Championships in 2015. So expect an exciting ride! Register online at Bikereg.comRegister early on BikeReg for the Elite, Sport, or Intermediate. Early registration (before May 1st) is discounted and includes a meal/drink coupon and a t-shirt. Registration on May 1st and before May 29th is discounted and includes a June 11th food coupon. Late registration (on May 29 or later) is not discounted.
Riders may pick up their race bag at Lowden Park on Friday evening, June 2nd or on Saturday, June 3rd. Be ready by 8:30 am on Saturday. Reserve RV and camp sites (as available) and/or purchase T-shirts (while supplies last) on bikegreg.com when you register.
