Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes

Galloping hard on the plains

Chasing the redskins back to their holes

Fighting them at their own game

Run to the hills, run for your lives!-Iron Maiden Circa ‘82

Well it’s time to run to the hills this weekend and possibly run for your life!?!

The “beautiful” scenic foothills of Fontana will host the third round of the Kenda Cup West Series presented by Specialized. It also happens to be the opening round of the Pro XCT series, so there’s going to be some serious horsepower on the starting line tomorrow.

I put some new sections on the XC course this year, as I always like to keep things fresh. The new pro only section on the back side of the courses main climb is a pretty gnarly granite rock face, just to add some texture to this year’s XC course and hopefully bring the Fontana XC course up a notch for 2010.

Fontana is finally gaining some history with the riders, media and teams over the past few years, and the US Cup has made every attempt to raise the level of the Pro course and amatuer courses every year.

This year’s 2010 Fontana City National brought to you by Specialized, should give the riders a chance to blow out the cobwebs before the season hits full stride.

If your in the area, stop by for one of the best, high powered US Cup managed events in So. Cal.

Till next time,

The Red Cowboy
