Hello everyone.
I am a newbie RD organizing a hill climb to benefit Mission 22, a non-profit assisting veterans with PTSD and TBI.
It is on Prospect Mountain in Lake George NY. (5 mile with 5.3% average--100 mile view at summit). Prizes will be awarded to top finishers.
September 23, 2023. Register at BikeReg. Learn more at www.unifycyclingny.com
Looking for participants M/F, Juniors, road and MTB. Also have a dedicated donation page link on website.
Thanks.
Bob

Decent website, too far away for me to participate but I've done a number of the hill climbs around Lake George and if I still lived upstate it would be a fin race. Consider dropping your Jr age to 12, you might not get any extras but I've met some of the Jrs around your area, and CBRC has a strong Jr program going on now but a number of fast kids up there are younger than 14 and still wouldn't have a problem riding it. My kid is 12, race age 13, and I find on a race like this that age restriction to be annoying. Some parents will as if their kid can participate and offer credentials of their kid's accomplishments, and some of us just assume the kids aren't wanted and can't be bothered trying to contact and just look to race elsewhere for that week.

thanks for the feedback. I took your advice and dropped the junior age to 11.
if you still have connections at CRBC please feel free to let them know I could use more participation especially from junior level racers.
take care.
