There is going to be a time trial on the Palm Springs Tram Road on October 9th. I have done the Tram Road Run several times and always thought it would make an awesome bike ride. This year they are offering the run on Saturday and the ride on Sunday.
If you haven’t been there, the Tram Road gains over 2000’ in 3.7 miles (6k). There is only one very short flat spot in the middle, otherwise its a grind the whole way. I would guess it averages about 11% grade but it really kicks up at the top. Most people run the 6k in just under their 10k time.
I’ve never tried biking it and can only imagine how tough it will be. The fee for both races is only $40 or $25 if you only do one of them. They are offering an award to everyone who completes both the ride and run.
Here is a link to the race flyer: http://www.kleinclarksports.com/tram05brochure.pdf

I am not employed by the race organizer, I just think it will be a fun event.
