About the Race:
The West was never Wilder – welcome to Hammerfest! Race the “Texas Alps” one of the most challenging courses in the Southwest. Stage one will start the climbing with a short, intense road stage. There are 10 miles to warm up, THEN 6 miles of real climbing (up to 17% grades) — enjoy!!! We will start in Fort Davis, Texas on Hwy 118 and climb our way to the top of Mt. Locke – location of McDonald Observatory. Stage two will also begin in Ft. Davis on Saturday Afternoon — a 16 mile out & back time trial on fast, “flat”, straight roads. Stage three on Sunday morning, April 5th, will start at the Prude Ranch and wind through the mountains of the Scenic Loop. The altitude goes from 5000′ to over 6500′ and climbs are steep and numerous. The 74 mile route will have a neutral start through Ft. Davis then race around the loop to “Heartbreak Hill”. The 34 mile route will be an out and back from the Prude Ranch to Madera Canyon and back to “Heartbreak Hill” (a lot of climbing). The 16 mile race will start in Madera Canyon and race to “Heartbreak Hill”. And the 56 mile route will race from the “Point of Rocks” around the remainder of the loop and finish at “Heartbreak Hill”.
