Race 6: Sunday, November 15, 2015 at Gibson Ranch Park

Brand new to Sacramento Cyclocross last season, Gibson Ranch Park was an instant hit. A massive park with rolling grassy hills and one of the more technical hillsides of the season is a 'crossers paradise and won't be a race to miss.

Course description:
The Gibson Ranch course gets a fast pavement start before diving off into grassy rolling hills. Steady climbs are met with rewarding descents and fast turns before dropping down onto the old horse racing track. Once off the track we hit up the hillside for some technical work and a drop down into the creek for a natural barrier climb out. After a recovery period and some more turns on the grass it's down onto the beach for some sand and mud around Gibson Lake and back to the finish.
