This Optional event provides you with an opportunity to test your fitness and climbing skills against the clock on a section of road that is relentless and unforgiving. Few climbs can match the challenge you will receive from Iowa Hill. Aside from the personal satisfaction of completing the climb, we will reward the fastest male and female rider with $50.00 in cash. At the end of the day, find out how you compare with your peers, some of the fittest cyclists in the world!
Any interested rider who is signed up for either the 110-mile or 140-mile course may participate. Entries are taken during check-in. All time trialists will be given a participant bracelet tha t permits the rider to enter the starting area.
Participating riders will need to stop in the staging area immediately after crossing the NF American River Bridge. Your TT bracelet will be your ticket to the starting line. Check-in is required so that we may organize your starting time. Riders who do not check-in at this staging area will not be given a starting time and therefore will not be timed.
The Iowa Hill Time Trial will be open for timing from 8:00am to 11:00am. Late arrivals will not be accommodated.
Dan Tebbs, the owner of Victory Velo, has offered a $50.00 bounty to the winning rider who breaks his 2007 winning time up Iowa Hill - a blistering 14:11.
