RMCC Foothills Climbfest Update


Update 4/28/16

Due to the inclement weather forecast for Saturday, May 30, 2016, we are canceling this year's Foothills Climbfest. Mother Nature is having here way for the second straight year! It is possible we will attempt to reschedule the event for later in the summer, so please pay attention to this blog, the RMCC Meet Up site, and the RMCC main page in the weeks ahead! 

1) The RMCC Foothills Climbfest is coming up on Saturday, April 30, 2016. Keep your fingers crossed that this year's weather is better than last year's weather! 
2) To pre-register for this ride, simply acknowledge that you're going to attend the Climbfest Meet up.
3) Please remember: RMCC membership is required to participate in this club event.  This is for insurance purposes. Only riders who have active RMCC memberships will have access to the RMCC-provided water support on the course. And only RMCC members will have their times recorded. RMCC membership is cheap: $25/year! To activate your membership: http://www.rmccrides.com/membershipmain.html
4) Here is the official route on RidewithGPS.com: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/13242955
5) As in previous years, this year's ride will be run in pseudo-brevet format. Participants will carry event passports (available at the start of the ride) with them and these will be initialed and timed by a RMCC volunteer at check points along the course and at the finish. Participants will need to turn these passports in at the end of the ride to receive an official finishing time. 
Stay tuned for additional details.
