Cow Trail Classic, Sunday May 25th 2008
This race is a great event for beginners and recreational racers alike.
New for this year . . .
- The BC Cup series is back once again and the Cow Trail is the first event on the XC side of things.
- A longer course.
- A partnership with the great folks at Bike Cafe in Kamloops. They will be rolling out some cool new stuff at the race this year. Watch the web for details.
Expect top racers participating, as well as weekend warriors, just for the fun of it. The race course includes some double track roads but is predominantly single track, including some challenging "technical" sections. We have modified the course a bit this year:
The long loop is now longer, about 4 km longer than last year making one lap about 20 km. The easy lap is still available for novice racers.

Getting to the Race:
-
Take the exit off of the highway beside the Mc Donalds. This will put you
on Voght St.
- Stay on Voght St. You will go down a hill and pass the RCMP building
on your right.
- Continue on Voght, pass through two sets of traffic lights and then
over a small bridge.
- You will now be making a sweeping right and the Tolko mill is on your
left.
- Take your first left on to Mid Day Valley Road, it is paved at this point.
The pavement turns left, go straight on to the gravel road, still Mid Day
Valley Road.
- Just after the second cattle guard the road levels out and you are at
the race site. The "Cow Trail" is on your right.
- Look for the wooden sign about 100m off of the main road 10ft up in
a big pine tree. Have fun!
