Seems I’m not the only who likes the challenge of riding up to the ski basin – this Sunday they’re holding the annual Hill Climb Race.
The fastest time to the top (3,300 vertical feet in 14.7 miles – that makes it over 4% gradient) is 53 minutes and 55 seconds, or an average of 16.3 miles per hour.
Don’t think I’ll be doing it this year – but I’ll definitely keep riding it in my own time, getting nearer the top each time (I hope).
