At a Glance Citius. Alturas. Fortius. The Olympic motto
could well apply to this little Via Destinatum that takes you
fast and high into the paralympic Warner Mountains and then
finishes strong with a sweeping descent down to the quiet,
quaint village of Cedarville in the Surprise Valley, close by
the Nevada border. It may be a couple of miles short of a
marathon but it will still appeal to some competitors. Modern
bi-wheeled athletes will find it a little narrower, rougher and
not too curvy when they cross-country the portions where CR 56
skirts the edge of the Modoc National Wildlife Refuge and CR 58
bisects a sloped foothill plain. But the Hwy 299 sprint track
has moderate, sweeping Twistius and better Pavementus that
allows you to ride faster, higher and stronger while striving
for a personal best. Just remember: this is a state sanctioned
venue, so you do have to watch for those pesky Accelero Tributum
Exactors eager to javelin a ticket into you. If they do, take heart from your own motto:
Illegitimus non
carborundum.
