Dreaded hill race

[Big Guy]

I heard that there will be another dreaded hill race event on Marsh 25th

I don't have all the details yet but if it's like last year I will sign up. All I want to do is beat last year's time. I just dropped into my 4th decade (40 years old for the math challenged) and I want to make sure I didn't loose anyhing. One thing for sure, it's a fun event (hard but fun).

From what I remember, it's about 1000 ft in about 0.9 miles. It's a good challenge and a good way to gage you stamina from year to year.

I will challenge any of you on a pound/minute basis...

I'm in!
Now do I ride my 35 lb XC bike, or my 39 lb hill climbing(?) machine?

[Big Guy]

Either way you will be a tough competition in the pound/minutes category.

Are you bringing little "Braveheart"?

[maxwell]

No I'm not going to bring Lacey on this one. Right now she's really having FUN. I don't think Dreaded Hill Will be fun for her right now.

[Big Guy]

I got a video of Lacey after the CC, someone asked her: what was the hardest part of the race?
She replied: Pretty much, up...
