Bike Course: (14 mi*) THE BEAST
This is a challenging two-loop course. After the swim, the transition takes you heading south on McLane. At around 2 miles you’ll encounter THE CORKSCREW. Don’t take the CORKSCREW too fast because at the bottom you are going to be making a hard right turn After another mile or so you’ll hit GOLF COURSE CORNER; (Vista) another right turn. Don’t miss this turn! The road goes on for miles and we don’t want to lose you. After the turn is our hill that we lovingly call THE BEAST. Athletes love to hate this hill! It is a steep mile or so climb followed by a series of shorter hills. Elevation starts at 4850 and peaks out at 5150 at around the 3.5 mile mark. At the top of the hill you will be taking the first right at YARD SALE CORNER (Bulla). If you packed some cash, you might just want to stop and do a little shoppin! Just as you are catching your breath flying down Airport Road you’ll encounter SCREAMER HILL. The steep descent is cut short by a hard right turn onto McLane Rd. SLOW DOWN!!!! We frown upon crashing! We love this course so much that we make you do it twice!
