Save the Date! LaGrange Classic Mountain Bike Race is June 11th in Weaverville, CA

The 2022 LaGrange Classic Mountain Bike Race in Weaverville will be held from Saturday, June 4, 2022 through Saturday, June 11, 2022 in two formats. The Novice (8 mile) Course will be the venue of a virtual race over the week of June 4 -10. The other three courses, Elite, Sport and Intermediate, will be the sites of a traditional one-day race on Saturday, June 11, 2022. Event organizers, the Trinity Trail Alliance, are looking forward to presenting a pre-race downtown procession, a challenging one-day mountain bike race on the Weaver Basin Trail System and a celebration at Lowden Park in the afternoon. However, there will be some exciting changes.

Some new and thrilling trails have been added to the 29-mile Elite Course and the 26-mile Sport Course. These new sections were planned and constructed in 2021 and have become favorites among local and visiting bike riders. Each of these races will include an uphill push on the new Browder Trail and downhill thrills on the new Blue Lead Trail. Trinity Trail Alliance hopes by providing a more fun and challenging racing experience, riders will want to come back for more time on the trails. The 14-mile Intermediate Course will remain similar to last year.

Stay at Del Loma RV Park, only 28 miles from the event in Weaverville, along the scenic Trinity River!
