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.

Is the Napa9 suitable for beginners?
No. This event is a serious challenge and should not be underestimated. If you are an experienced rider and are looking for a challenge then this is perfect, but 13,000 feet of elevation gain is not to be scoffed at. The fastest rider last year did this in 7.5 hours.
