The "Classic" Returns, Year 9
This is a European style road race in the tradition of Liege-Bastogne-Liege. The leg out to Seabeck is fairly flat while the return to Tahuya is challenging. The course is a scenic, fun and rolling 65 mile loop that is to be completed one time only by all categories (one added climb for Cat 1/2 men). This course will definitely remind you of the Spring Belgian Classics. There are several significant climbs (39*23 recommended) that will be marked along the course. Be a part of the best race in the northwest as voted by you!
