9/11 Bear Mountain Classic.

Those that missed in Spring can now register for the Fall race. Maybe I can redeem myself this time from my Spring race.

Lots more info on the CRCA site for the Spring race. Check the rider manual. It has a full race profile including elevation.

check the profile, it's awesome. Fast down hill start in to a great winding climb up through the trees. the rest of the course is rolling and has some tough little rollers coming back in to the finish. All up it's a wicked course, one of the best I've ever done.

When I raced it, I did it in the pouring rain for the full 3 hours, it bucketed down the whole time, tons of people pulled out but it was still great fun. I've never been so constantly wet on a bike ride.
