Race Overview

For 2021, the LaGrange Classic is going virtual. What does this mean? No mass start. No single race day. Instead, registered racers start at a time and day of their choosing from June 12th through June 26th. Rides are posted to STRAVA and made public, which requires a free account.   At the conclusion of the two weeks, the organizers will announce the winners at the Awards Ceremony on June 27th and afterwards on our website.  Awards and prizes may be available for pickup in Arcata, Redding, or Weaverville, details to follow.

Ride the course before your race to get a feel for the segment and to know where you are going!  Even with excellent signage it is easy to make a wrong turn.

 The race fee entitles you to participate in the race and the opportunity to receive a swag bag of goodies while supplies last, including a free T-shirt if registered by May 22nd. There will be no refunds.

The Awards Ceremony and Prize Drawing,  will be held at the Trinity County Brewing Company on Sunday, June 27 at 2 pm.  An impressive list of prizes will be given away, including a 2021 Giant Fathom 29  mountain bike.www.trinitytrailalliance.com/lagrange-classic-race-drawing.html.  Need not be present to win.

​
​Racers must do the following for their ride to be considered valid. 

1. Register at BikeReg (more info below)
2. Pick a day and time to race.  Pick up your race ID and swag bag at The Hub (next to the Weaverville Hotel on Hwy 299) before or on the day of your official ride. Contact us if you have special scheduling circumstances.  You may 'practice' ride the course as much as you want, but only send us your 'race ride'. Your official participation in the event only occurs during your race attempt for which you have notified the organizers.
3. Send Us an Email BEFORE you Race - it is VERY important you send us an email letting us know when you are racing. First come, first served.  In an effort to ensure all riders only ride once, we MUST receive your race email with a date stamp prior to your Strava ride time.  The email address is:  lagrange@trinitytrailalliance.com ,  put LaGrange Classic in the subject line.  Start your Strava before crossing the starting line.
   
4. We will time your race using your Strava segment time.  Make sure you are very familiar with how Strava works AND your device battery limits.   (PRO tip: if you are using a smart phone put it in airplane mode, it will still track your ride. This will help prolong your battery life. Just turn off airplane mode to upload your ride after you are done) 
5. Email us AFTER you race - email us a link to your ride after you have finished, with LaGrange Classic in the subject line.  Stop your Strava after you have crossed the finish line, then upload the activity. Our course experts will review your Strava ride map against the race course we mapped and set-up to ensure you rode the correct course.  We will then post your results (this could take a couple days).  Remember, this is Strava: nothing is perfect :)

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.  You can expect that the courses will be marked just as if it were a traditional mass start event like in years past. 

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!
