Looking forward to seeing everyone Saturday morning! The address of the registration site and after-party is: 5656 Weaver Place, Oakland, CA, 94619. Please park along Skyline Drive, NOT on Weaver Place.
Registration onsite opens at 8 am. Please arrive early to help ease the registration process. Wave 1 will have a neutral roll-out at 9 am. Waves 2 and 3 will have neutral roll-outs in 15-20 minute intervals after Wave 1. Current weather forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the low 60s at the start.
The post-event barbecue will begin as riders return following the event, with food available beginning around 12 pm. Awards and raffle will begin at 1:30 PM. We have great prizes for our top finishers, KOM and QOM segment winners and raffle ticket winners. There is a pool and currently temperatures near the end of the event are forecast to be sunny and in the low 70s, so bring a bathing suit if you want to swim.
The 2024 course is here: 2024 East Bay Dirt Classic Course. Please download the route to your preferred GPS device to avoid missed turns. We will mark any tricky parts of the course, but despite marking the course in each of the prior editions, there have remained confusing intersections. Of note, this year’s course stays on Goldenrod the entire time until Jackson Grade whereas in previous years the course used Jalquin Trail. So stay on Goldenrod the entire way to Jackson Grade:
Also, currently the San Leandro Creek is full, so riders will have to dismount at the foot bridge between Honker Bay and Cameron Loop and walk bikes across.
For those who have elected to compete in the virtual edition of the 2024 EBDC, you can view the leaderboard here: Current Virtual Course Leader Board. If you don’t see your name here and have ridden it, please let us know.
Please feel free to reach out with any last minute questions. See you all Saturday!
