| Description |
The undisputed, hardest 2-day USA Cycling Race & Ride!
The California-Nevada Climbing Championship
2 days · 208 Miles · 29,035 feet of climbing
The race that every cyclist dreams of riding in is the Tour de France. Usually, the deciding stages in the Tour are those in the Alps and the Pyrenees that feature long, hard climbs. Well, the Everest Challenge is every cyclist's chance to experience the same kind of climbing that "Le Tour" is famous for. Except that our Eastern Sierra climbs are longer, and our two stages are tougher, than any back-to-back stages in the Tour de France. Our three highest summits are much higher than the Tour de France has ever gone! The Everest Challenge offers a truly world class cycling experience with climbing that is unsurpassed. The scenic beauty of the Eastern Sierras is the setting for a unique and challenging race and ride for the US race calendar. |
