Description
The RR course is a 13 mile loop which incorporates
some unfamiliar roadways with portions of the old RR course
nearest the East Garrison - traveled in the opposite direction.
The biggest single obstacle is a 300 ft climb 2 miles from the
finish - up what used to be the insanely steep descent 2 miles
into the loop on the old course.  All in all though, significantly
less climbing than last year's course. There is much more
travel on narrow roads with short sight lines.  Most of the
turns are left at marshaled but uncontrolled intersections;
these require constant caution, and good communication within
the peloton or working group.  There are no KOMs.
Route:
Intergarrison Rd/West Camp/Watkins Gate/Gigling/8th-Ext/
Parker Flats/Parker Flats Cutoff/Eucalyptus/Barloy Canyon/
East Garrison Roadways.
