Ok, so I've checked racemsc.com and there's no posted practice schedule or any useful information. Anybody know where there's anything posted on that race? It's coming up pretty quickly so I'm surprised nothing is on there yet.

Usually, for DH its practice on Fri and Sat (alternating cat 2/3 and cat 1/pro) with 1 hr of practice on Sunday before your race that afternoon.

Expect a very fast and very open course with a few slower bits of tech thrown in. But mostly you just hold 'er open and see how fast you can corner while your bike is trying to buck you from all the bumps. Lots of Aspens and green lush forests.

Expect a similar schedule to the Wildflower Rush event. Probably not EXACT same schedule, but pretty close since both races have the same number and type of events (XC, DH, SD, MX) over a standard 2-day weekend.

Like SylentK said, pretty much a wide open downhill track with high speed off camber corners up top and some techy stuff. Tends to get pretty rough from ruts and braking bumps, can be really dusty but not nearly as sandy as SolVista; think more moondust than beach.
