hill-climb ITT or street sprints?

[Jon Beyer]

Hello ECCC,

Hope everyone is enjoying their snow-free winter riding so far.

Princeton has organized a great RR and circuit race for our weekend on March 24th-25th.  For our third event, we've been pursuing two courses simultaneously, and wanted feedback from the conference as to which we should run.

The first event is a gut-busting 4.5 mile hill-climb ITT with 770 feet of climbing.  It features some amazing views on the way up.  Full course profile here: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/894780

The second event would be an all-out battle royale for the title of best sprinter in the conference.  The street sprints would be run as a bracket of 4-up sprints.  For safety, the D and intro riders would likely ride a short TT.

Send me feedback off-list as to what you would prefer and why.

Cheers,

Jon
