2009 Winter Park Mountain Bike Series - by Julie White

Get your bike tuned up for the 2009 Winter Park Mountain Bike Series! The first race to kick off the summer is the Hill Climb on June 13th. Its a 5.3 mile steady uphill (click here for a map of the course). They tell you at the starting line that If at any point youre going donwhill, you made a wrong turn! This race always seems to be dreaded for those of us that are not in great shape yet that was me last year! I will not let that happen this year. I am working hard to beat my time of just over 1:06. I want to do it close to 53 minutes. I will let you know how it goes race day! In the mean time, I will be riding The Phases, back roads & down in the Front Range until more of the snow melts. Register for the Series or just for the Hill Climb. Theres a discount if you register for the entire series by May 25th! And be sure to pre-register if youre just doing one race, itll save you $10!
