Final Results for Chico Hill Climb Time Trial Series.......

And.....that's a wrap!! The Fall/Winter 2008 version of the Chico Hill Climb Time Trial Series ended this morning with the Humboldt Hill Climb Time Trial! We had 22 riders take part in a chilly start to this morning's event, but well worth the effort - thank you ALL for coming out to this one. I would like to also thank all of the riders and volunteers who participated and helped out with this Series during the past 4 months. It was GREAT having this one back again - and looking forward to doing this Series again in the Fall/Winter of 2009! In the meantime, the Butte Hill Climb Time Trial Series starts this Thursday - January 1st - with the Humboldt Road Time Trial again.

I would like to thank Lorraine Cox, Mike Crumm, Al Rudis and Sheryl Rudis for coming out to help with timekeeping, photography and registration this morning - without your help, we just could not do these events. So, thank you all tremendously!!

Okay, below are the Combined Results from the Humboldt Road TT this morning, the Results by Category in this morning's TT, and the Final Overall Results for the Chico Hill Climb Time Trial Series. We will be having an awards ceremony at the Madison Bear Garden today at 1:00pm today - in the Upstairs portion of the Bear.

AND - The Hill Climb Series Information is below:

Hi Everyone! So, we are doing a Fall/Winter Hill Climb Time Trial Series this year in Chico, with the climbs and dates below. There was a similar Series done years ago here in Chico - 1981 or 1982 - by Tom Devol and Jeff Smith, who owned Cyclesport bike shop at the time. And, of course, now there is that almost-famous Low Key Hillclimb Series in the Bay Area every fall. In any case, we decided to have our own and revive the old Chico Series.......with a couple of route changes. Below is a list of the tentative events with dates. It should be mentioned that these dates could change depending upon Galland Cross, the Cutty Series and Tyler Cross dates this fall/winter. And, of course......the weather! Rain will not cancel - but snow and ice will.

How does it work??? Below are each of the 10 Hillclimbs in the Series. Each climb has been given a rank based upon feedback from some well-known riders in the area (and climbers in particular - yes, I know - everyone is different, but this is just a low-key have-fun series, so no big whoop). Category 1 climbs are the hardest, with Category 3 being.......let's not say easiest.......let's say........not quite as hard as Category 1! Points will be awarded to the top finishers in each Hill Climb TT - the folks with the most points at the end of the Series, wins the overall title. The Point Breakdown is as follows:

Hors Climb = 40-36-34-32-30-28-26-24-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2-1-1-1
Cat. 1 Climb = 30-26-24-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2-1-1-1 (In other words, 1st place in a Cat. 1 TT gets 30 points, 2nd place gets 26 and on down the line - every person who competes in the event gets at least 1 point).
Cat. 2 Climb = 24-20-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2-1-1-1(The winner of a Cat. 2 climb gets 24 points, 2nd place gets 20 points and on and on.)
Cat. 3 Climb = 20-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2-1-1-1

And here are the Time Trial courses, the tentative dates, and their listed difficulty category:

Cohasset to Store (from Nicalog) - Sept. 7th - Cat. 2 - COMPLETED!
Forest Ranch (Chico Velo event) - Sept. 27th - Cat. 1 - COMPLETED!
Honey Run Rd. (from Covered Bridge) - Oct. 11th - Cat. 1 - COMPLETED!
Pentz Road (from Spring Valley School) - Oct. 19th - Cat. 2 - COMPLETED!
Cohasset to Gravel (from Nicalog Road) - Oct. 25th - Hors Category - COMPLETED!
Centerville (from Covered Bridge to the gravel) - Nov. 1st - Cat. 3 - COMPLETED!
Neal Road - Nov. 15th - Cat. 3 - COMPLETED!
Table Mountain (Wildflower Side) - Nov. 22nd - Cat. 1 - COMPLETED!
Clark Road (from intersection with Durham Pentz) - Dec. 13th - Cat. 2 - COMPLETED!
Humboldt Road - Dec. 27th - Cat. 3 - COMPLETED!

10 Climbs, approximately 18,000 feet of climbing in total, held over a 4-month period from September through December. Consistency will be key in winning the Overall Series.

Participant Categories - the following categories will be offered for the Series event(see below) The winner in each category will receive the Chico Hillclimb Champion Trophy, along with Bragging Rights.........as well as any stuff we can get to give away as prizes:

Category "A" Men
Category "B" Men
Women's Category
Clydesdale Men (No no, I'm not gonna weigh you - just show up and tell me and I will give you a yes or no answer)
Mens 50+ Category
Womens 50+ Category

As usual, sandbaggers are strongly discouraged. Also, if there's a lot of folks in one particular category, we may split those up into sub-categories, if needed. In turn, if nobody - or very few folks are in one category, we may eliminate it and add an additional category where the numbers allow it.

This Series is FREE - so come on out and take advantage of some, or all, of these Time Trials this fall and winter! Hope to see you out there - and I will have more details and information as we get closer to each of the events.
