Saturday, August 20, Tight Slalom
Downtown Breckenridge in the Summer will have plenty of spectators to livin' things up and create that Mountain town atmosphere. The course will be a 50-60 cone American style TS with offsets, stingers, curves, and plenty of etc. Pavement quality is fair. Two drops and a mid course flat section make for an interesting race. This course will be pump-able tight with plenty of flow and rhythm. This is a foot drag stop with plenty of room.
