Yes, if you purchase a 1 day license as well as pay for the event, you will be considered a CAT 5 Sr for the day.
If you do it, good luck. That hill is 18% in one section. Definitely try it before race day. Start at the bottom at Bonnie Branch Rd and ride all the way up to the school (which is on the left of the road).
On race day, the road will be closed to downhill traffic. You will be racing up the left lane of the road while the right lane may have traffic going up the hill.
