Sarals, Here is a chance to showcase your aerobic power and climbing ability. http://www.bikereg.com/events/regist...?eventid=13088

Each year, there is a charity race up Sierra Road for KOM and QOM bragging rights. This year, the ToC will finish a stage at the top of Sierra road. In this event, you race up the mountain and then hang out at the top waiting the for pros to finish a stage. I did it last year and we saw the pros climb it but they did not finish on the top. I think you may find that you will blow past your previous max HR if you elect to race up Sierra. I think I blew past my max when I saw the grade at the starting line.
