DAY 1 – TIGHT SLALOM

Friday, November 8th

Centennial Park
2500 West End Ave, Nashville, TN 37203

Centennial Park – front lawn of the Parthenon with a nicely paved, smooth surface. The grade is fairly flat, so pumping your speed through the tight course will be key. Run out is flat, so a foot drag stop is necessary and safety hay bells will be at the end of the road. There will be an amateur course and more technical pro course, with practice and qualifying for all classes in the morning. We will break for lunch and food trucks/vendors will be on site so you don’t even have to leave the park! Race practice and head-to-head racing will resume in the afternoon – amateur racing first, followed by pro racing through the end the day. The course is lined with lights for racing to continue after sunset if needed.

Hamilton Creek Recreation Area

For day 2, we’ll be racing Hybrid Slalom next to one of Nashville’s most iconic lakes at the Hamilton Creek Recreation Area, adjacent to the Music City BMX track. Practice & qualifying will begin at 8:30AM, with each racer division practicing & immediately running qualifying with their division. A short lunch break will take place once all divisions have completed qualifying, and then head-to-head racing within your divisions will begin – The same division order as tight day.

ACCOMMODATIONS

There are plenty of hotels in Nashville to choose from and even more AirBnB options. If you want to experience the downtown nightlife on Broadway, you can stay in walking distance of bars with live music (every single bar has live music on the weekends – I’m not kidding). It will be cheaper to stay outside of the downtown interstate loop. If you decide to go that route, I recommend you stay in East Nashville/Inglewood or the north side of the city along I-24 near the Hybrid and Giant race hills (they are less than a mile apart). Please use common sense and your own due diligence on the quality of hotels.

Recommendations:

The Dive Motel
1414 Dickerson Pike, Nashville, TN 37207

• Very cool and unique place – look it up for photos!
• Fair price and located more between the Friday hill and weekend hills
• Biker pool parties sometimes!

Element Nashville Vanderbilt West End
4 City Blvd, Nashville, TN 37209

• More expensive but in a great part of town
• Very close to Friday’s race hill at Centennial Park

Other Options:

There are tons of hotels in the downtown interstate loop, but they are very expensive – so be warned!

Areas to search for in AirBnB: East Nashville, Inglewood, Cumberland Heights, Highland Heights, Midtown, Sylvan Park, Music Row, West End

Camping:

Two Rivers Campground
2616 Music Valley Dr, Nashville, TN 37214

• Located near the Grand Ole Opry and Two Rivers Skatepark (not necessarily walking distance but I’m not stopping you!)

There are others right outside of town on the south side of Nashville, but just keep in mind that we are mainly racing on the north side of the city.
