What Is The Wednesday Night TT / Hill Climb Series?

Starting May 22 – May 29, CycleFolsom will be hosting a TT / Hill Climb Series consisting of four individual challenges. There will be two TT / Merckx challenges, each will be a 10 mile all out effort on the south canal. There will be two Hill Climb Challenges, ranging from 5-8 minute efforts. The series will run series two-weeks on, one-week off (see schedule below).

  • Challenges will be posted as rides on our Website (like normal), where you will be able to register for each challenge. In order for us to manage riders, registration for each challenge will close the night before the challenge
  • Day-of registration is TBA, meaning register ahead of time, it helps us a great deal with organizing the series
  • Challengers will be given a number for each challenge to be placed on the front of their helmet
  • Challengers will be given a start time for each challenge (be early so you don’t miss your start time)
  • Challengers will be sent out in 1 minute intervals
  • Results will be emailed to each challenger, with a link to the results at the end of each challenge
