It's the first time Challenge has a 70.3 distance race in US (Rancho Cordova)

Expanding what synthetic said... the bike course is a bit of a cluster. It cuts through parking lots with lots of loose chip seal/gravel/sand. Also the neighborhood section had me worried as I was nearly taken out by a dog charging out of his yard as I'm bombing down a hill. Another hill has a 4 way stop sign and you just hope the volunteer working that corner is paying attention. But, Mark runs a great race and I'd do a HITS event again if they changed that bike course.

They're such nice folks and I really want them to do well, but they seem to find the crappiest roads in the county and route the bike course there.
