thanks!
I didn't race last year. I drove up there intending to race. As I was pulling in, they stopped the race that had been going on because the rain was so bad people couldn't see. So, I didn't bother.
I did drive the course, though. I'd say that hill is long and nasty. Not sure where you ride, but I recall it being much longer and much more of a leg buster than anything around the Chicagoland area. I believe it starts off fairly steep but is not quite as nasty the higher you climb.
If I recall correctly, the last two miles would be a fairly flat/straight into a 90 degree right hand turn that would be the base of the climb.
Hope that helps.
