This same course used to be the mass-start TT for GMSR back in the day... gets progressively steeper the higher up you go and finishes at the same point of GMSR stage 3. For added pleasure, pack some hiking shoes and jump on the Long Trail south and bag Mount Ellen and Mad River Glenn summits.

I just did that climb. Most of it is pretty smooth and nice. That final 1/2 mile is painful. Steep and the wind was blowing in our face up the final stretch. Great view from the top.

It's hard as a TT, especially the last part that is dead straight and has a very constant gradient that is very unforgiving. Did it twice. One year they had a unicycle category. As I passed them it made me feel like I could have been suffering even more if I was one wheel short. Attracts mostly a non-USCF crowd (or did back then), so if you are still in race shape bragging rights are definitely attainable.

The Allen Clark Hill Climb is sometimes used in B.U.M.P.S. (Bike Up Mountain Point Series)
