Road Bike Racing - Sisquoc Road Race info

I registered for the junior state road race championships which are held in "Sisquoc". Other than the information on the flyer, I could find nothing about this race. I am mostly intersted in the profile and what the climbing is like, although any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Hi,

I rode the Masters 45+ race at Sisquoc last year. Past the start/finish is fairly flat to slightly downhill for a couple of miles. You turn right and you go down a short, steep-ish hill followed by a short, steep-ish uphill. Then there is a longer, fast downhill with a right turn at the bottom. The road is relatively flat with a few rollers for a few miles. The next set of right turns leads you to the "big" hill. I believe that it is about 1-1/2 miles long and about 300 feet of elevation gain. (There is about a total of 600 feet of elevation gain per lap.) You then do some more rollers until you get back to start/finish.

Also, there is no shade and it is likely to be very hot.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a bunch. Anything really helps considering the total lack of info anywhere about the race. What is the lead-up to the finish line like? Is it on an uphill or is it fairly flat? Do the races usually finish in a sprint or is it just a long string?

On a slightly seperate note, my training ride is an out and back route with a 10 mile flat road followed by a 7 mile 2,000 ft climb then back. Since the race doesn't have any really long climb, should i be concentrating more on shorter climbs or will my current training route help me to really kill on those shorter climbs?

Thanks again.
