What’s a Hopper?

We’ve always counted on riders to describe a Hopper. But here’s what we’ve come up with: “Grasshoppers are eclectic mixed-terrain (yes there’s lots of “gravel” but in NorCal that doesn’t really sum up the terrain) adventure rides and races created to push riders to the limit without pushing them over”. And to take ya’ll to really cool places and shred on two wheels!

Ride or Race?

Yes!  It’s up to you. We have a podium for top 3 in all categories, but if you’re in for the adventure and exploration,  we say “ride on”.

How do I compete for the Series overall?

Series Points: Overall Points Leaders will be calculated in the following manner: 1st 60pts. 2nd 55 pts, 3rd 51 pts. 4th 48 pts. 5th 46 pts. 6th 45 pts. 7th 44 pts. (-1 per placing to 1 pt.). The rider with the most points at the end of the series will be the winner. Your top 4 finishes will count towards your final standing. All riders who wish to compete for the Hopper Super Hero King of the Universe title in their age groups must finish at least 4 Hoppers, including the series finale on May 10th. If you do all 5 your lowest  result will be dropped.  For Series Points riders must do the long course in Huffmaster, Ukiah-Mendo Epic and King Ridge. You must also attend the Series Finale King Ridge Hopper on May 10 in order to be eligible for the Series Overall Podium. 

Lake Sonoma MTB will be +5 points towards series overall in all categories. ie. 1st=65, 2nd=60 etc.
