Here is a set of directions on how to drive to lake of the Pines. We are located off of I-80 (above Sacramento) on SR49 about 11 miles from the freeway. We are between Auburn and Grass Valley. At about 11 miles out SR49 you will come to a stop light controlled intersection. That is the corner of SR49 and Wolfe Road and Combie Road. Wolfe goes to the left and Combie goes to the right. Turn right onto Combie and proceed for about 1 mile. You will come to another lighted intersection and just beyond it you will see the entrance to Lake of the Pines. The speed limit in LOP of 25mph is strictly enforced. The Start/Finish area and the Transition Areas are down around the clubhouse. Drive through the Guard Gate and proceed up the hill directly in front of you as you pass the guard gate. Proceed until you come to a stop sign. Watch out for the speed bumps at the top of the hill leading up from the guard gate. At or near the stop sign there will be people who will help you park your vehicle on the Driving Range for the golf course. From there it is just a walk down the hill to the clubhouse and the registration/check-in, start/finish, and transition areas. It is highly recommended to arrive early. The check-in will open at 6:00 and close at 7:15.
