Event Details:
Competitors of all ages and abilities will be able to race on the original Time Trial course ridden by legendary riders such as Greg Lemond and Bernard Hinault back in the late 1980’s. Andy Hampsten’s long standing course record of 26:33.43 set during the 1987 Coors Classic was broken at the 2008 Teva Mountain Games by Benjamin Day (25:48) and Chris Baldwin (26:29). Will the new course record stand the test of time?
The race is open to both recreational and licensed road cyclists, with winners crowned in age group racing categories. Check out the course profile for a snap shot of this classic uphill Time Trial (Road Bike TT Full Course).
