uhttRoad Remember the epic climbing stages of the Giro and Tour de France?  Riders flying uphill, sweat pouring down, Phil Ligget comparing them to a motor bike...

Well, now it's your turn.  This is your Alp d'Huez, your Plan de Corones, your Mt. Aigoual. 

The OBRA Uphill Time Trial Championship is Sunday, August 24.  5.6 miles, 2000 feet of elevation gain (hey not too bad), and a nice closed service road that weaves up the side of Timberline's lower ski runs.  You're gonna love it.

So dust off your 43x19 and get yourself signed up now!   This is a pre-registration only event.  That's right, kiddo, no day-of-race registrations.  You'd best sign up right now.

So I prerode the course this afternoon (2x!) with a friend of mine that is racing....

Make sure you (or your designee) sweep the part of the course where West Leg connects to Timberline (at the top). I almost went down when my front wheel slid out.

Other than that, the road is in great shape.
