Mt Ashland Hillclimb

September 28, 2003

Ashland, OR



Attack le Col du Ashland! (HC)



Hit the Road, Toad!



Start with your back to those hairy-legged mountain bikers, looking into the

flashing lights of an official police escort. Warm-up your climbing legs

with the pack heading out of town on historic route 66 before turning up old

hiway 99. Six miles of climbing will get you to the feed zone where you can

fill your water bottles. Crossing under the I-5 will take you to the access

road where you will continue the ascent for 9 more miles to the Mt. Ashland

ski lodge. Merge with the mountain bikers for the final two miles, for a

head to head battle to the finish line.



The roads are excellent for this 25 mile ride as it rises 4500 feet. Ride

your lightest wheels.



Hit the Dirt, Squirt!



Start with your back to those too-clean roadies as you psyche yourself up

for a beautiful climb through old growth forest. No warm up for the mountain

bikers as they begin their climb right from the starting line. You?ll begin

climbing through Lithia Park to loop road, left at Four Corners and right on

road 2080, then left at Bull gap. Merge with the roadies for the final two

miles for a head to head battle to the finish line. Wildlife, fresh-air and

lots of shade for this 18 mile climb.



Please note: In an effort to make things as fair and exciting as possible,

no cyclo-cross bikes are allowed on the off-road course. All off-road

competitors must use standard mt bike wheels and have tires that measure at

least 1.5 inches. (regular mt. bike tires).



Registration: All races start promptly at 9 (nine) AM from the downtown

Ashland plaza. The friendly registration staff will open it?s office at 7:30

and closes precisely at 8:45. Get there early if you?ve decided to wait

until race day to register.





There will be prizes for the top three in all categories. both road and

mountain. Prizes will consist of product and a pint glass with the race

logo. There will also be alot of schwag for a raffle after.
