Pseudotsuga Lot - between stage 2 & 3

The finish line is the start line - the 7MESH Hill Climb starts immediately following stage 3. Racers continue for 3km and 200m of climbing, to finish at the right turn to the doubletrack leading to stage 4. The fastest male and female will win $1,000 for their choice of gear at 7MESH. Results will be withheld until they are announced during podium awards. Do you go full gas, or is the winner just an efficient climber? Plus, you’ll have to navigate and pass the riders in-front of you. * 7MESH Hill Climb does not count towards total race time.
