Join us in West Branch, MI on Sunday, July 19th, 2015, for the AMA Pro Hill Climb event, part of Ogemaw Hills Bike Week. The race starts at Noon, and we are meeting for lunch at the McDonalds across the highway at 10:30am. Admission at the gate is $15 for adults.
The event is at Bunting Sand & Gravel at exit 212 off I-75. You really can't miss the hill from there!
I suggest bringing a folding chair to sit in, an umbrella (for sun and/or rain), and some water to stay hydrated.
About the Hill Climb
AMA Pro Hillclimb is a competition of man and machine versus the hill. Each rider gets 2 runs on a steep hill, often with jumps, breakers, and or turns, that is scored by time or distance. The hills have varying degrees of slope from about 45 degrees to almost vertical. The better of the 2 runs is to be used as the final score and ranked by the fastest time or furthest distance. The Series is comprised three distinct Classes – Pro Sport Class, Xtreme Class, and Unlimited Class. The Xtreme Class and Unlimited Class feature sport bike motors and or Harley Davidson, BSA or Triumph motors powered by alcohol/methanol, nitrous oxide, or nitro methane.
