[NCNCA] High Sierra Hill Climb TT #2

[Spencer Ericksen]

The second race in the High Sierra Hill Climb TT Series is this Sunday, up 6 Mile Canyon to Virginia City.  This is the first time we've had an "official" race on this climb, so the fastest rider on Sunday will set the new course record.  Don't let the distance fool you -- the last mile of this climb pitches above 10%, enough to punish even the "angels of the mountains".
 
A north wind is supposed to blow the smoke out of the area by Saturday, so race conditions Sunday morning should be good.  All registration is morning-of, with no late fees and no field limits.  Full information and course maps can be found in the series race flier on both the Reno Wheelmen and Alta Alpina websites:

One correction for this race: registration and parking will be in the public parking lot on the northwest corner of Mill St. (6-Mile Canyon road) and D St. in Virginia City, not at the Ramada Hotel as stated in the flier.
 
Hope to see you out there,
