FREE VIRTUAL RACING IS BACK!!!

The weekend weather is looking sunny and seasonably warm. Who is up for a bicycle time trial up Lookout Mountain in Golden?

The route is the 4.54 mile Pillars to Post route. The Pillars to post route starts just west of downtown Golden on Lookout Mountain Road. It is easy to spot the start line, flanked by two tall stone pillars just before the first switchback. From there, cyclists climb 1274 feet in elevation, finishing at the sign that marks the entrance to Buffalo BillÕs Museum and Grave. DonÕt be fooled in the last quarter mile, where you will encounter a gradual downhill stretch before the final hundred uphill yards to the finish.

This route is popular with cyclists and it is also popular with tourists, so ride with caution and please ride single file on the right side of the road and avoid riding in groups. There will be cars, cyclists, motorcyclists, and often skate boarders on the road. This is not an organized event, and there is no traffic control or medical support. You are just doing your usual weekend ride at Lookout Mountain, and you are submitting your time when you have completed it.

You can do your ride From Friday December 4th through Monday December 7th. Times must be submitted to the RESULTS WEBSITE no later than 11:59pm on Monday December 7th.

REGISTRATION (click here): Please register for the Lookout Mountain Climb Trial no later than 10:00pm on Thursday December 3rd. We will populate the RESULTS PAGE with all entrant names on Friday morning. Once you have completed our ride, simply click the ÒEdit TimeÓ link next to your name and enter your time.

TEAM COMPETITION (optional): LetÕs make this fun by adding a Team Competition. Be sure to enter your Club Name (if applicable). We will add together the times of the top-3 riders on your team to come up with your team time. Team riders must submit GPS proof when you submit your time (set your privacy settings for this ride to public or everyone so we can all see it). If you are not riding as part of a team, then GPS proof is optional.

GPS TRACKING: GPS tracking is optional (unless you are part of the team competition). If you ride with a GPS device or have a GPS app on your smartphone, you will have the option of entering a link to your ride when you submit your time. Again, this is completely optional unless you would like to be included in the team competition. Please enter the ENTIRE URL for this activity, including https://. You must also set the privacy settings for this specific ride so that it can be seen by everyone.

We have created a Racing Underground Community Strava Club that we are encouraging everyone to join. See what other Colorado runners, cyclists, and triathletes are doing to stay in shape while social distancing.

The Racing Underground Community Race Series accepts donations for these great organizations. We understand that money is tight for many of you, and donations are completely optional, but if you have a few bucks to spare, please consider a donation when you register.

ALPINE RESCUE: The mission of Alpine Rescue Team is to ensure all-weather, 24/7, search and rescue response. Alpine Rescue Team responds to emergencies such as avalanches, lost hikers, high-altitude/vertical rescues and/or other situations in Colorado's mountainous terrain. Alpine Rescue Team's assistance is always given free of charge! In case of emergency simply dial 911 and help will be dispatched.

ATHLETES IN TANDEM: Athletes in Tandem pairs able-bodied athletes with physically challenged individuals to allow them to experience the thrill of participating in endurance sport events, from local 5k runs to Ironman triathlons.

BOULDER EXPEDITION: Boulder Expedition is a middle school program at two local schools. The kids raise funds year-round (including at many Racing Underground events) to take a week-long experiential learning trip each spring. They are great kids, and this is a great program that we care deeply about.

CU TRIATHLON TEAM: The CU Triathlon Club is a diverse, student group at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The team has won 18 national championships. The triathlon club is not a school funded sport. They rely on member dues, sponsorship, and donations to exist.

CHERRY CREEK HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT SENATE: CCHS's student government exists to train and empower young leaders as problem-solvers. They volunteer at many Racing Underground events to earn money and have lost two fundraising opportunities due to the coronavirus in April.
