The average grade from start to finish is about 3.35% The fastest climb avaraged 18.77 mph. The actual 10 mile final climb averages about 5.9%. The only time I did the climb I left from my home in Bellingham and and returned to my home for a round trip of 112 miles so I don't know how I would do for a short run up the climb. I never was able to make this ride due to my work schedule. Sure wish I could.
sooo excited...cant wait till september 13th!!! for anyone who has done this before, do you find that ur time is faster during the race than going up there for practice? i think the first 20km a large group would definitely speed things up.... (:
24.5 miles total. check out the profile map on the site. 3 smaller climbs to start, including a KOM/QOM then a sustained 16K of 5+% the last 2.5 miles is a bit steeper up to 10%. road is closed to traffic during event.
