October 19-21
Weaverville, CA.

Starting Friday of next week the California State Champions will be awarded via one day events for cross-country, short track, Super-D and downhill. The showdown takes place at the Lagrange Fall Classic in Weaverville. It's a small town 30 minutes west of Redding in Northern California.

 

The Weaverville Basin Trail System is a maze of miles and miles singletrack, most of which were dug by hand during the gold rush era of the 1850's. Those trails have been the site of the Lagrange Fall Classic for the past 25 years. The fantastic courses and the low-key, grassroots flavor keeps riders coming back year after year.

 

This is the official, Norba-recognized California State Championship event. Class champions take home a California State Championship medal, a pair of California State Champion socks from Sock Guy, and the right to purchase and wear a California State
Champion jersey.

2007 CALIFORNIA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP COURSES
CROSS-COUNTRY: It's a classic big loop course that has some of the most fun, most flowing singletrack imaginable. Many of the trails follow the contour line routes of the water flumes that brought water to the high pressure hydraulic hoses used by the 1850's gold miners.

 

Beginners get a fun 13.8 mile route that is 80% singletrack. Sports, experts and professionals get a full 23 miles of fun. The start/finish is at the local high school with paved parking, real bathrooms and hot showers.

SHORT TRACK: This exciting ¾-mile loop is right behind the high school for easy spectating. It includes flowing singletrack, wide fire road for passing and an oh-so-steep drop-in to keep things interesting.

DOWNHILL: This one has it all. It starts at 5400 feet way up Weaver Bally Mountain where riders on the start line can take in the view of all of Weaverville before launching themselves down a steep, steep chute. Below waits a few jumps and drops, some more hang-off-the-back steep stuff, some wide open spin-that-big-ring fire road, a drop-off through a creek
and finally a roller-coaster ride of twisting-turning singletrack to the finish at 2800 feet.

SUPER-D: This course uses some of the upper 2/3 of the Downhill course, then veers onto a 3-mile section of the famed flume trails of our cross-country course for a total of 5-plus miles of swooping, speeding, roller-coaster trail. It's a total of 3.2 miles and has over 1400 feet of altitude drop. This is a real run-what-ya-brung circuit with riders doing well on all types of bike: full on downhill rigs, cross-country bikes and everything in between.
