Saturday, June 28, 2008, 10:00 am: Pepsi Snowy Range Road Race
(see race bible for specific details)
Neutral Feed Zones:
Beginning in Albany, Wyoming, at 8,400 feet, a gradual downhill run of 7
miles leads to rolling hills and the low point of the race at 7,500 feet.
After turning west (left) onto Hwy 130, the race climbs gently to
Centennial, Wyoming, then a short steep climb to the USFS visitor’s
center. After a brief descent along Highway 130 to 8,700 feet, the race
starts its toughest climb. Rising 2,400 feet in about 9 miles, with most
of the steepest climbing in the first 4 miles, the race tops out at Snowy
Range Pass, at 10,800 lung-searing feet. From there the course descends
sharply for about a mile, levels out for the next 4 miles and then
gradually descends to Ryan Park. From the turnaround at Ryan Park (8,400
feet), the race follows the same route back to Albany, Wyoming.

Sunday, June 29, 2008, 11;00 am: Trihydro High Altitude Time Trial
(see race bible for specific details)
The High Altitude Time Trial is probably the highest “flat” TT in the
United States. Starting at 8888 feet, the course averages 1.6% grade
downhill for 5.1 miles to the turnaround at 8450 ft. There are two small
undulations in the course with one having a maximum grade of just under 4%
(about 1500 feet long - uphill 1.5 miles from the finish line). Prevailing
winds will be across the course, with nearly one third of the distance
somewhat protected by trees.
