It is situated 1 mile northwest of the modern town of Norma, some 1575 ft. above sea-level, on the west edge of the Volscian Mountains or Monti Lepini.
The necropolis of this settlement was probably the extensive one situated at Caracupa (8th-7th century B.C.), near the railway station of Sermoneta, which belongs also to the 8th-6th century B.C., terminating thus at the precise date at which the Roman city of Norba began to exist.

Sport was to do 2 laps, which surprised me. At every NORBA National I have been to over the last 4 years, officials have cut the women's laps down because of time considerations and bad course conditions.
It is not a NORBA National NCS race if it has not rained 5 inches the night before a race and if the course is not at least 50% unridable.

 Active.com - Larsen dominates on way to NORBA title
Contrary to the fiery, emotional Larsen that came out and beat the field by more than five minutes at the Park City, UT NORBA event, after his Mammoth win, he was surprisingly mellow.
Larsen, who was not in the NORBA top five before he began his incredible winning streak, said his determined solo ride was not fueled by the Sydney denial.
Although foreigners are allowed to compete in the NORBA series, and often they finish with the overall points lead (earlier, in the women?s race, Australian Mary Grigson won the female points title, but Ruthie Matthes was the top American and she was awarded the National Championship), Larsen outdistanced all comers.
