One of the Most Scenic Desert Courses
The I-Cup series is heading south to Hurricane UT for round two of its 2018 calendar and this all-new course will likely be scorching fast! The race will utilize much of the well renowned Jem Trail, which is a rider favorite in Utah for its fast, flowing nature, as well as sections of the Cryptobiotic and Hurricane Cliffs trails all linked together with some sections of BLM dirt road for an 8.5 mile lap of ripping terrain.
Tips for pre-riding the course
Access the course from the Sheep Bridge side. Head up like you’re going to Zion, then turn off in Virgin on Sheep Bridge road and proceed to the course.
