This may be the nicest-looking GNCC of all. The picturesque Steele Creek Campground and the Blue Ridge Mountains in the background make this a nice place to be even if we weren’t racing. This is a classic cross-country track too, with plenty of creek crossings, mud bogs and rocks. The track flows and is fun, but it’s also rugged. And the hills, going both up and down, are long and steep. As the race goes on, a lot of tree roots become exposed. This makes for a rough ride when it’s dry and a slick track when it's wet and its expected to be wet. The course also gets faster and faster as more lines open up throughout the weekend.
