George Street Bike Challenge for Major Taylor
Sunday, July 23, 2023
Worcester, Mass.
See how fast you can pedal up George Street, a short, steep hill that was a proving ground for 1899 world cycling champion Major Taylor.
It's one rider at a time against the clock in this uphill time trial presented by Landry's Bicycles and the Seven Hills Wheelmen.
The distance is 500 feet (two blocks) and the average grade is 18 percent (but it's closer to 24 percent at one point).
Entry fee is $20. Proceeds benefit the Major Taylor Association.
All the details on the race, the raffle (win a bike!), past years' results, course records, and of course, registration:
