The SEGMENTS

New in 2018: Only the Intrepid route will be timed and scored.

SEGMENT 1: SAND HARBOR
The Sand Harbor segment begins just outside of Incline Village and is mostly flat giving advantage to bigger riders with power. Drafting will help you here. This segment is 5.1 miles with 270' of gain.

SEGMENT 2: CARSON
This one's for the engines. We'll have a flat segment through the Carson Desert to give the powerhouses a chance to bury the hatchet. NEW for 2018, we've moved the Carson segment to the east side of Washoe Lake with beautiful eastern views of the Sierras.

SEGMENT 3: MOUNT ROSE
The highest year-round pass in the Sierra Nevada topping out at 8,900'. After you've already covered more than 60 miles, the Mt. Rose climb is 4,200' and 16.5 miles. We'll let you warm up a bit and time the last 11 miles and 3000' to the top. It's big. Really big.

At the finish on Rose, we will have shuttles to bring you back to Northstar, but you can decide to join Pete for a group ride back to the post-ride Festival.

The Accolades

Prizes will be awarded to the top 5 combined times overall for both men and women as well as the top 3 combined times for the the sprinter's competition.

Overall - Top 5 men and women regardless of age for the overall classification which is the combined time for all 3 segments (Sand Harbor, Carson, and Rose from Reno).

Sprinters - Top 3 men and women regardless of age for the sprinter's classification which are the combined times for segments 1 and 2.
