I will likely go to the NORBA Nationals at Mammoth 26 Sept. Having never been there, I'm looking for a place to stay and any other good advice for racing XC there. Thanks.

Theres a million places to stay in town...from luxury condos to a motel 6...
do a search on google for lodging in mammoth lakes.

As for riding...it will be tought do the the unfamiliar terrain and altitude(depeding on where your comming from). I come from SoCal so the altitudes gets me.
Also the dirt is very loose and sometimes gets deep because its volcanic pumice stuff.
Otherwise Mammoth is awesome!! youll have fun!

Camping is a cheap option as well. However, you might want to make reservations in advance for the Nats.

Here's the info I got on it. They change the trails each week, and i didn't run last week, so as far as distance goes your guess is as good as mine. I think they run somewhere in the 7-14mile range.

When I was in Mammoth a few months ago, I 'stayed' at Laka Nuki. Of course, it's a bar and not a hotel, so this might not be the kind of info you're looking for.
