Think you have the power and lungs to be crowned King or Queen of the climb? Test your metal against some of the best riders in the Midwest on this 3.5 mile course up the full Vista trail in La Crosse. Riders will start from the lower trail head in beautiful Hixon Forest and go all out climbing over 600’ of elevation to the top of the bluff. The course offers a mix of hard packed dirt, as well as a few rocky sections that will sap your speed if you miss your line. There are even a few quick descents along the way that you’ll want to catch your breath and then carry speed up the next punchy section.

Whether you’re a single speed purist, or an enduro rider looking for a little punishment, this time trial is for you. Register today if you are interested in testing yourself against the bluffs of the Driftless Region!
