CLUB PHOTO - 7:00 AM

Please make an effort to show up for the club photo even if you do not plan on participating in the Piuma Hillclimb. Peet's will be there for you coffee-holics.

MOST IMPORTANT! Please wear the 2006 Kahala-La Grange jersey if you have one. If you happen to have an extra one or even a vest, please bring that as well since there will inevitably be members that forget.

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
VCLGW MEMBERS ONLY. Times and placings will be recorded and posted ONLY for LaGrange 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.
