The Mt. Evans Hill climb is a bicycle race that takes place on Mount Evans, Colorado. It was run for the first time in 1962. The race has been held 41 times with only three years canceled. The race was renamed in 1981 in honor of five-time race winner Bob Cook, who died of cancer at the age of 23. The race is purely a climb, without many other skills required. Team tactics and alliances can play a role. The climb is 27.4 miles in length.
The race takes place on the highest paved road in the United States. The race starts at 7,540 feet in front of the Clear Creek Middle School and proceeds to Echo Lake where the race turns and climbs nearly to the summit (14,130 feet).[1] Due to the altitude and wilderness, the event is sometimes marked by extreme weather, by mountain sheep, marmots, and other fauna of Colorado.
The race is promoted by Team Evergreen and will be hold on July 21, 2012
