It's Wintergreen Ascent week!

[Ethan Gruber]

Hi all,

One of the Mid-Atlantic's most unique events returns this Saturday, May 16--the Jim Beazell Wintergreen Ascent! It is the Virginia state championship hill climb and also a new entrant to the Mid-Atlantic Time Trial Series. It's the toughest 7 miles you'll ride in any road race anywhere in the region.

We're expecting the biggest turnout in a decade, and the weather is looking great!

Thanks to the generous support of the Charlottesville Racing Club, Blue Ridge Cyclery, and Cutaway, this year's purse for the men's and women's overall winners (regardless of category) is $750/5! First place will get $300, so bring your climbing legs with you!
