Date : Saturday, July 5, 2008
Location:
Williams, CA, in Colusa County, Hwy 5 at Hwy 20, north of Sacramento
Directions: Take Interstate 5 to Williams, exit
at Business Hwy 20 (downtown- E Street) and turn west through town. At 11th

Registration: Opens at 7:00 a.m., closes at 7:45
a.m. for all categories at Williams High School.
Course: Same as 2001-07 and 1990-98. One 60-mile
nearly complete loop, with one major climb (Leesville Grade, 1,500’) and
several smaller ones. There's also a fast steep descent off Grapevine Pass.
Narrow roads, with 1.3 miles of alternating rideable dirt and pavement on a
midway flat stretch, and the inevitable short stretches of gravel somewhere
on the loop. Pavement is good to poor. Route: Zumwalt Road south to Walnut,
west across Hwy 20 (becomes Leesville), west over the grade to go north on
Leesville/Lodoga Road, (becomes Lodoga/Sites, then Maxwell/Sites), south on
Danley (jog to left at canal) to Freshwater, turning left to finish on
Freshwater just before old 99w). Finish is 1 1/2 miles from parking/start
area.
