Recommended bikes: mountain or fat tire bikes; experienced riders may also use gravel or cyclocross bikes. Helmets are mandatory. The course features sandy dirt roads, winding single-track trails, and technical sections with rocks, roots, and scrub oak obstacles. Typical lap times range from 35 minutes for the fastest riders to about 60 minutes. An aid station at Altar Rock (about halfway through) will offer water and Halloween candy to keep you energized.
