Route information
A brilliant but brutal ride that is certainly not for beginners. The Napa9 takes on the largest peaks in the Napa Valley all in one go. It might surprise people to know that this includes over 13,000 feet of climbing across the 125 mile course.
Riders will meet at the Napa Courthouse and head out of town with a police escort before being unleashed on the unsuspecting Napa community.
Some of the peaks to look forward to are the Wild Horse Valley, Mt. George and Atlast Peak (longest climb). Despite the gruelling hill climbs, riders will be rewarded with stunning views across the valley.

Will there be support vehicles and can I leave things in there on the Napa9?
Yes, there will be two SAG support vehicles, one to lead and one to follow. It will be slightly cooler in Napa in September so please bring some warmer clothes that you can shed and leave in the SAG vehicles.
