Categories

Grasshoppers have always been about adventure, exploration and pushing your limits. All Hopper routes are open and riders must obey all traffic laws and rules. See RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

Prizes: Podium top 3 in all categories. LONG COURSE  ONLY. Riders competing for series points must do long course with Annapolis. Magnum of RedCar wine for 1st M/W. Prizes only, no cash for Pro/Open field.

Bike/Tires

This a classic Hopper road stage. The only dirt/gravel section is Kruse Ranch Rd. which can easily be done on a road bike. Whether you are on a road or gravel bike I’d recommend 30/32 c slicks for the day.

Schedule

• 6:30-9:00 Registration/sign in open
• Staging/Start: We will have no official Staging/Start. Read below for details.

Course change: There will be just ONE segment.

 Awards/Podium will be at 2:30. We’ll have pizza from Gold Coast Bakery, lunch w/ Chef Matt Accarrino and cold Sierra Nevada, so hopefully you can stick around. 

Below you will find the start/end time limits for each segment. 

Note: It’s ESSENTIAL that you do NOT WRAP your race number. It must be mounted flat on your handlebars without bending the timing chip. With this timing format there is no way to manually enter riders times if the chip from their number plate is not read.
