The Dirty Half Course:
The course starts by the Sandia Tramway and finsihes at County Line BBQ. The course is an out and back with a loop turnaround on the U.S. Forest Service trail area of the Sandia Foothills with beautiful views if you have the ability to look around. The trail is mostly single track with plenty of double track and opportunities to pass with a handful of small technical sections. The course has a net gain of approximately 1,000 feet in elevation and it drops more than gains. Although not an extreme course it is challenging and the last mile will definitely be faster than the first mile!
