Specifics for Each Race More info & interactive map links at cedarhillracefestival.org *Timing transponders required for race scoring: $5 rental or purchase onsite Road Races: Saturday & Sunday ALL DAY Feb. 3 rd & 4 th TXBRA, Texas Cup State Races A 1.9 mile loop of the interior road at Cedar Hill State Park. The road is beautifully smooth and racers will have the whole road as we're turning it into a one-way traffic pattern. Counter-clockwise Saturday & clockwise on Sunday. The course is twisty with one significant hill (87+ feet of climbing) each lap and has views of Joe Pool Lake as well as the hills of Cedar Hill. But stop looking around you re supposed to be racing! Hill Climb Trial: Saturday morning Feb. 3 rd TXBRA, Texas Cup State Race An approximately.9 mile route mostly uphill on West Belt Line Rd. in the City of Cedar Hill. TT staging will be at the back gate of the state park and can only be accessed through the inside of Cedar Hill State Park. ALL TT participants MUST enter the main entrance of the state park. There will be NO TT parking outside the back gate of the park or along the TT course. The TT start is just outside the back gate of the park and the finish will be at the top of the hill just before Mobley Rd. During the TT roads will remain open to traffic so use caution. Before you panic, this stretch of West Belt Line Rd. is a dead-end, off-shoot of the main Belt Line you probably know and this stretch is used only to accesses a few, small 1-2 street neighborhoods. The TT is about.9 mile in length with a 5% average grade and 11% at the steepest. TT is Pre-Reg ONLY MTB Short Track & Cross Race: Saturday afternoon Feb. 3 rd Same location as 2017 The course and race will be a MTB Short Track / Cross race in one so it will be MTB short track in style with no dismounting required!
