COURSE
|
|
This
is the same challenging course as last year. It's a mass
start event (i.e., not a time trial). All riders will race
up the 5.4-mile climb to the summit of Piuma, take a very
technical one mile descent, then CAREFULLY turn left onto
Schueren Road, and climb the final 1.8 miles to the intersection
of Schueren and Stunt Road at Saddle Peak Ave. The route
is 8.2 miles long with 2,260 feet of climbing.

RULES
|
|
LA
GRANGE MEMBERS ONLY. Times and placings will be
recorded and posted ONLY for La Grange members.
Wear your La Grange kit.
Helmets are MANDATORY.
All USCF rules apply including
the centerline rule (i.e., if you cross over the yellow
line, you will be disqualified.) This is not a formally
sanctioned race, and the roads will be open to traffic,
so please use caution, especially at the intersection of
Piuma/Scheuren. Decisions made by the chief official are
final.
