Welcome to the Hard Truth climb. This ride will always cover long climbs on big mountains.
We invite you to take training to the next level by adding this ride to your weekly routine. Steep climbs are hard and long steep climbs are really hard, that is the Hard Truth of this ride.

The ride will start with a friendly group ride format with riders staying together before the big climbs start. Enjoy this social time on the ride before the Hard Truth of the climb arrives.

On climbs, strong riders at the front will push the pace and ride at race pace to compete for the win and the best KOM time. Strong riders at the front will likely output over 5 wpk on the climb.

To keep with a more social ride format, many riders will form a group and ride together on the climb. This social group will likely be using power typical of a Cat B ride. Riders are encouraged to find a group and ride together to help each other survive the Hard Truth of these big climbs.
