We are excited to announce that the Capo Cycling Apparel King of Pain Series now has a 60+ Men’s age group, and our leader is Tom Ratajczak (Asheville Bicycle Racing Club – Asheville, NC). He will be defending his jersey at The Ascent 9.25 Mile Hill Climb on August 11 at the Blue Ridge Mountain Club in Blowing Rock. Check out the updated standings at www.BikeHighCountry.com/KoP/results.

What a great day! Thanks to everyone for coming out and making the inaugural event such a success. I am so happy to hear so many people loved the course as much I do, and I can not say enough good things about the crew from Cool Breeze Cyclery for working so hard to ensure everything ran smoothly and stayed safe, while helping to raise money for GrabLifeByTheHandlebars.org – the Jon Clark Relief Fund.

The Ascent 9.25 mile Bike and 3.5 mile Run Hill Climbs
Sunday, August 11, Blue Ridge Mountain Club, Blowing Rock

This year you will have the option to double up and do BOTH of the Hardest Hill climbs in the South. Sign up for the Bike hill climb at 10AM, then compete in the Run at Noon – best combined uphill time wins (no downhill racing, that’s just begging for trouble). Of course, most folks will participate in either the Bike or the Run, and this year we will have shuttles available to make it easier to get from the finish to the legendary post-race party. Look for registration information to be posted on the Facebook page and the next newsletter.

After two races we’ve had some shake up amongst the leaders in the Capo Cycling Apparel King of Pain Series. Donna Hill, George Berger, and Ed McCalley are crushing their divisions.  While Mock Orange Cycling continues to dominate – sitting in the top three slots in Men 30-39 – they may be vulnerable on the technical challenges at Three Peaks USA UltraCross.  Click over to the standings page, then sign up for Three Peaks USA for your chance to earn the title King of Pain.

What an awesome day!

Congrats to everyone for lining up and gutting it out at the Hardest Hill Climbs in the South.

Results are posted on the Lee Timing website – I’ll get them up here and on Active.com on Monday, write up something pithy, and post some pics.
