Presented by NorEast Cycling
South Berwick, ME
Sunday, August 8, 2010
9:00 a.m.

Leave your expensive trick equipment at home! No TT bars will be allowed and fragile wheels are discouraged on this scenic, quirky, and tough course. Road bikes only.

The Mt. Agamenticus course is without a doubt one of the most unique and challenging courses you’ll ever have the pleasure (or displeasure) to race on. It’s 7.4 miles in length, featuring 5.3 miles of smooth, mostly flat pavement, 1.4 miles on a FAST hard-packed dirt road, to a paved finish on the top of Mount ‘A’. Mount ‘A’ features a 0.7-mile climb with an average gradient of 10%, with sections at 12%-14%.

New for 2010 is a new start format that will eliminate huge time gaps between race fields. All pre-registrants will be organized by catagory, so you'll know the person in front of you is in your catagory. Day of registrants will start on the course after the pre-registrants and in the order of their registration. All pre-registrants will be emailed their start time the day before the event. All racers will be on course before 10am and the entire event will be wrapped up around 11am leaving you plenty of time to head down to the beach.

Also new for 2010 is a gear vehicle that will be available to bring a bag of your clothing or food to the finish. The vehicle will leave the start area at 9:15 AM.

Returning for 2010 is the addition of a Clydesdale class. In order to be part of this category, you must weigh over 200lbs. Registration for this event if free, but you must register for your appropriate age category. You will be ranked in both your age category and in the Clydesdale category. To register for this class, there is a question at the bottom of the registration page.

Also returning this year is the Citizen Category intended for non-USCF male riders that make this event their only race of the year. A one day license will still be required.
