Lone Cottonwood Gravel Circuit, Noon,
Saturday, February 11,
2023 Albuquerque, NM
One of our sponsors, Gyros Mediterranean, has offered to
cater us some lunch munchies post-race. Lunch
will be at about 2:30. Please sign up if
you are coming by Thursday at 11:59PM to let me know how many to expect.
If you are not signed up you can just show up 2/11 and ride. Registration does not close and there is no late fee.
Course:
Generally fast open gravel loop with a little singletrack to mix
things up. We can't do the old Luchetti
course as it is goathead infested, so this is a similar course in
basically the same area. Course will be marked. About 6.5
miles per lap. There are still a few stray goatheads, so be sure
you have fresh sealant. Course will be marked.
Format:
All riders will start together for a neutral lap,
then do
1-4
more laps at a faster pace, about 33miles if you do a neutral and 4
fast laps.
Parking:
Park at the Los
Padillas
Community Center, signup and picnic will be there. Map
link here.They
have public restrooms inside. Try to park on the west side of the
lot in the gravel section so as not to take up spots for the community
center patrons. They are going to open up an extra area for us.
Directions:
Get off
I25 on Isleta, which is about 7mi south of Rio Bravo, after you cross
the river. Go north 1/2 mi to Los Padillas Dr and then west to the
center entrance. Map
link here.
To get to the
course from the community center, go back on Los Padillas to Isleta,
go left, then almost immediately right on Desiderio, and continue to the ditchroad where we will start. Start location map link here.
Online Registration:
We
will use Google Forms for registration. It does not cost anything to
sign up. You can donate online or at the race via cash, check or
card.
I am not going to charge late fees but please try to sign up by 11:59PM
on Saturday 2/11/23.
Entry Fees:
No entry fee but if you could pitch in a suggested donation of $20 for
making the course, that would be cool.

We also had some tour riders that I did not include on the results as
they did different numbers of laps. I think we had about 18
ruders total.

Racing Course Marking Conventions
Red and green pinflags
will always be red-right and green-left. These will mark either
side of the course. Always go between them with red on the right. If
you start seeing green-right you are probably riding the course
backwards. I will occasionally place red and green pinflags on either
side of the course if it has been a while since there has been any
trail marking. These may not be near any intersection. This is just to
let you know that you are still on course.
Orange pinflags show
where not to go, and are usually in lines of 3 or more. They will
be used to block off a trail that is not on course. Do not go in
between orange pinflags. Sometimes lines of course tape also show where
not to go. Lines of tape and orange pinflags mean the same thing: Do
not cross.
Intersections will be
marked with triangular yellow arrows. Also, just beyond the
intersection, I will put up at least two sets of red and green
disinflation either side of the course. Sometimes there will also be
orange pinflags blocking entrances to roads/trails not on
course.
Always default to the
more trafficked trail or road. If you are on a major trail or road,
stay on it, and do not get off on any smaller intersecting
trails/roads. It is not always possible to mark every possible little
trail intersecting a main trail or road. If the course DOES get
off a more trafficked road/trail onto a less trafficked road/trail,
there will always be some marking indicating this.
