Lots of hills! One in particular on Ashland Ave, I was riding a 5.5 HP motorbike and the bike slowed way down going up the hill. It was faster to get off and walk. That spot is downhill in the race, but somewhere the course goes up again. And down. And up. And down. And up.

That is indeed the steepest one on the course, thank goodness you only have to go down it!

We actually do not. We have been suggesting that participants request a late checkout.
