The Green Valley Raceway is a favorite for most mountain bikers but the ones in the summer in the mountains are still my favorite. But this race is great when there's snow in Ephraim and is 40 degrees. While it's 40-50 degrees here in Ephraim, St. George which is about 3 and a half hours away gets like in the 70s! This trail is also a great technical trail for a XC race. Last year I did the race and I actually died at the top, like twice. Hopefully it won't happen again this year but it probably will because it's so early in the spring and everybody hasn't done any riding because of the brutality of winter unless you had guts to ride out in the snow with 0 degree wind chills, then you'll probably do fine. But most people from north go riding down there a lot during the winter because there has to be somebody with a bad case of biking fever. I like this video I pasted on because it's in riding order of the race course, the dude riding in the video is not me. The dude in the picture above is me riding in the race last year. Looks like I actually died. The race is on March 6!

Looks like a nice trail, hope you do well!
Thanks! I have been training lately on the roads on my road bike, it's been barely warm enough to do that.
