Event Details

MULTIPLE EVENT DISTANCES & STARTING OR FINISH LINE LOCATIONS AT EACH RIDE:  Each event has 3-5 options for the length you can ride, depending on the venue, and because the timed portion is only for the uphill portion, there will be different start or finish lines. 

When you reach your desired finish line, a timer will record your time (if we have enough volunteers, if not you will write your time in a binder there) and you will take a tag that says your event category and finish place, which you will take with you as you ride back to the awards at the finish area and give to the prize volunteer, who will tell you what bin to take your prize from. You can always shorten your ride if you don't feel well or aren't placing as high as you want in the longer distance, and finish at a shorter distance than you signed up for, but you can't move up to a longer distance if you haven't signed up for it.  You can always keep riding farther than the distance you signed up for, but you need to first stop and make sure the timer has your name/bib number and time and hands you your prize ticket, then you can catch back up to anyone you were riding with who is going farther to see how you would have placed if you chose a longer distance.  You also need to make sure to tell the timer at the longer distance that you already got a time so they don't record you for the longer event and show them your finish tag. 
There is a time limit for each event which you need to meet in order to have your time listed in that category, otherwise your time will be recorded for the next shortest distance you have already finished within the time limit, which will make you eligible for that category.

.
The “ULTRA” event is the longest distance available at most venues.  All are welcome to ride in this event who can finish in the time limit of 2 hours, but it is not recommended that children under the age of 14 attempt this event or those with health conditions that prohibit high heart rates.   
. 

The “ENDURANCE” event, the 2nd longest distance, is not recommended for children under the age of 12 or those with health conditions that prohibit high heart rates.  The time limit for the uphill portion is 1 hour and 30 minutes.

.

The “INTERMEDIATE” event is open to all, but is not recommended for children under age 10 unless they have enough experience with climbing hills on a bicycle.  The time limit for the uphill portion is 1 hour.

.

The “SPRINT” distance will be a short event, and while it is open to all ages, it is the most recommended distance to choose for those ages 5-10 or over 65, and those new to cycling.  On road races, parents are required to ride to the right of any children under age 10 until the roads are closed for the races.  The time limit is 30 minutes.

.

The “TODDLER” event will be approximately 50-100 M long and will be off the road near registration at a park or another safe place near where the start of all the other events is.  These will only take about 1 minute so we will start these 5 minutes before the hour of the posted start time when all the other events start so that parents can be able to help their kids or watch them before participating in an event themselves.  All toddlers get a finisher prize and it is not a timed event. 

Registration Info

REGISTRATION DETAILS: 

Registration for our events is currently free for all events!  Please RSVP if possible by texting or calling 8012312000 or email utah bicycling club @ gmail .com (no spaces) or mark "attending" on the "Uphill Cycling Series" facebook group event so we can anticipate the number of participants to bring refreshments and goodie bags for.  An RSVP is not required to participate, however.  30 minutes before the start of the race you need to sign up in order to be eligible for prizes at the end.  We will have you sign a waiver and write down your name, age, bike category, event, email address, team name, and parent signature for all under age 18.  Registration will end 5 minutes before the start of the first event so that we can organize the order of the starting line up, so please be on time.  If you miss the start you will still be allowed to race but we will not adjust your time to account for the late start.

Provo Bonneville

Come celebrate Independence Day with a healthy way to start your morning by joining us for the FREE Provo Freedom Road & Mountain Bike Race July 4!  We are so blessed to live in a country where all can ride bicycles on the streets and in the mountains with minimal threats to our safety and freedom!  We have been given exclusive access to private trails and roads crossing through the Utah State Hospital property and you will get to enjoy amazing views overlooking Provo from the Bonneville Shoreline Trail (BST)!  It will be on the foothills just above the Freedom Run so that when you finish, you can go see the energetic awards ceremony for the giant running race, then relax and watch the Freedom Festival Parade!  This race has shorter and less steep options for beginners, and more intense climbs to challenge advanced riders!  Feel free to dress in red, white, and blue or in a patriotic costume!  The best costume/bike decorations gets a special prize!  We will be giving out whole wheat and white American apple pie with whipped cream and will give out prizes from many Utah County bicycle shops and other sponsors for all finishers and special prizes for the top males and females for each age division and event, $50 cash reward to the top male & female of the longest distance (Ultra) of the non-electric bike division of the mountain bike race and $25 cash reward to the top male & female of the Road Bike sprint (feel free to do both and double dip!), and goodie bags to all participants!  We will have patriotic music at registration, American flags marking all turns, and water and sports drinks at each finish line!  Fully loaded mini squirt guns will be given to all participants to use as you see fit at the finish, so feel free to bring a friend or make a friend to cool down!

Registration starts at 6:30 am at the Mountain Bike Ultra starting line at 1540 E Seven Peaks Blvd (this is a new intersection so the location that pulls up on smart phone maps is close but not the exact location-just drive up Seven Peaks Blvd until you see the gazebo, then drive to the top of the road to the dead end culdesac to park since there are no-parking signs below that point).  The coordinates are 40.243775, -111.632435.

1 Mile Road Race

The road race Sprint will be a 1 mile climb on an asphalt road, Seven Peaks Blvd.  There is only one intersection, a round about, which we will be blocking to help you go through it, but all parking lot exits will be open to vehicular traffic, so you will need to use caution at all times.  There is a bike lane along the entire course to add more safety.  The start will be at 7:00 am, 1 mile downhill from the registration area, so you need to register by 6:55 am at the latest so you can coast down to the start in time, but it would be best to register a few minutes earlier so you can warm up.  You will be welcome to ride any type of bike, and if you finish in time to switch to a mountain bike to race in the mountain bike race you can start with the mountain bike racers when you finish, or start a little late if you miss the start.  There will be only 2 bike-type divisions based on bike type for this race: Non-electric and electric, and age group categories.  The average grade is 3.6%, with a maximum grade of 15.2% (the last 20 M).  It starts flat the first mile, then gradually gets more steep towards the end.  Here is a map: https://www.strava.com/activities/627566980

The Ultra mountain bike event will start at 7:15 am at the finish area of the the road race, and is approximately a 4 mile loop.  You will be timed on the uphill portion only (about 2 miles), then are welcome to cool down on the remaining part of the loop and ride with other riders, or challenge yourself on your downhill skills but please use extreme caution.  Here is a map for the Ultra loop: https://www.strava.com/activities/627624143.  It has a short steep incline on asphalt with up to 36% grade on an early section of the route, so if you are not physically prepared to ride up this portion, feel free to hike your bike up this section.  There will be only 2 bike-type divisions based on bike type for this race: Non-electric and electric, and age group categories.  There is one steep downhill that is -27.9% grade that is a dip in the course right before the USH gate you will need to use caution on with the loose gravel, but otherwise it is mostly uphill.  It climbs 778 feet if you do the whole loop.

The Intermediate mountain bike event will start at 7:20 am above the steep section of the Ultra so that you can avoid the killer section of climbing.  It will be 3.7 miles if you choose to loop down to explore the lower trail, or about 3 miles if you do an out-and-back, and the timed uphill portion is about 1.5 miles, but is not very steep.  It will still have enough of a climb to separate you so that when you get to the single track you won't be bunched up in each others' way.  Once you register, you can drive, ride or walk your bike up to the start, which is about 0.4 miles into the Ultra course.  If you want to ride/walk from the registration area for a warm up, you need to start riding up by 7:05 am depending on your fitness level so you get up to the starting area in time.  If you choose to park your vehicle up at the Intermediate start, you may wish to do the out-and-back so that you can avoid the climb at the end of the loop.  If you leave your car at the bottom by registration, but wish to explore the loop route, you can walk or ride it up afterwards for an intense cool-down, or we can shuttle you up to your vehicle.  There will be only 2 bike-type divisions based on bike type for this race: Non-electric and electric, and age group categories.

For all mountain bike racers, once you get onto the BST it is almost flat, so you will get some great speed on this exhilarating portion of the race, but use caution to make sure you stay within your abilities as there are some rocks on the dirt path.  Also, be aware that there may be runners, bicyclists, or dogs on the trail who are not part of the race, so approach blind turns with caution and be sure to alert those you may pass from behind so they aren't startled.   There is a steep downhill section (up to -31% grade) in Slate Canyon with loose gravel, so use caution on the downhill. You may want to just walk your bike down that short section.

Prizes will be available immediately upon returning to the starting area while supplies last.  Ultra awards will be given out as follows: Top male & female get their cash prizes and trophies immediately, all those who did not win their age division can pick out up to 4 finisher prizes each depending on how they placed in their age division, age-division winners can either pick out 5 finisher prizes immediately or wait until the majority of age division winners finish for the drawing to choose a larger Ultra prize.  If you haven't finished riding by the time the majority of age division winners finish, you are still welcome to choose a large prize but won't have first dibs.

The Freedom Run will attract up to 5,500 runners and will block off the south access to the race registration, so you will have to approach it from the north side.  A map of the Freedom Run is here: http://www.freedomfestival.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/FreedomRunMap.jpg.   Plan your route to allow you to arrive early due to all the traffic from runners parking near Kiwanis Park and along the parade route.  The Run starts at the same time as our bike race, so runners will be frantically trying to find parking at the same time you will.  The suggested route is to get onto 2230 N and follow it as it turns into 900 E, then turn left or east onto North Temple Dr which turns into 2320 N and 2300 N, then follow the turn right or south onto 1450 E, which turns into a dirt road and will take you to the registration area.  If you prefer to avoid the short dirt road section, once you get to the end of the asphalt, turn right or west onto Oak Cliff Dr, then left or south onto Oak Mount Lane, which turns into 820 N, then left or south at 1250 E, then left or east at 700 N, then left or east on Seven Peaks Blvd.

The Provo Freedom Festival Grand Parade starts at 9am so you should have plenty of time to change into some dry clothes and find a good place to watch the parade. 

Prizes

GOODY BAGS: Upon completion of your event, you will be given a “goody bag” with coupons, flyers, and other free surprises from our sponsors, which include bike shops and people who have your interest in mind as a bicyclist. 

DIVISION WINNER PRIZES: If you are the fastest male or female for the Sprint, Intermediate, or Endurance event for the bike category you are in (3 categories: road, mountain, or other) you are welcome to pick out your prizes immediately upon returning to the prize table and leave right away if you choose.  For ultra division winners, there will be drawing, but if you can't wait for all division winners to finish before you need to leave, whether it be to continue on for a longer ride or in case of inclement weather, you can choose 5 smaller prizes out of the “Finisher” prize box and be on your way.  For those who wait until the majority of the other ultra division winners finish, there will be a short drawing in which you can choose a prize from the higher-value “Ultra Winner” prize box, which includes gift certificates or other more expensive prizes.  By doing a drawing, it will be more fair who picks from the bin first, since the prizes vary.  Age division winners in the Ultra event each get 1 Ultra prize in addition to any other prizes they receive, except for the overall winners if it is a cash prize.  The top male and female of the Ultra also get a custom made plaque/trophy!

Safety Rules

The rides are not yet on closed courses which means there is no traffic control, so you need to watch for cars passing or crossing the road or trail on some venues, although most of the rides are in areas where there are very few cars that cross the trails or come onto the road.  Follow normal traffic and trail rules (stay as far right as you can), ride single file as much as possible to allow cars to pass (pass each other quickly), and when on the paved river trails, follow the 15 mph speed limit.  Since there is a speed limit on river trails, when the ride is on the river trail, all who tie for the finish at the speed limit time will be equal finishers in results and have an equal chance to draw the top prizes.  We will have a mass start, so in order to not impede traffic, we will have you line up in the order of fastest types of bikes to slower bikes to avoid a lot of passing at the first: Male Road Bikes, Female Road Bikes, Male Other Bikes, Female Other Bikes, Male Mountain Bikes, Female Mountain Bikes.  Speeding down the canyon after the ride is prohibited.  You must follow the posted speed limit.  Speeding increases your risk for accidents caused by debris, wildlife, vehicles, and pedestrians on the road.  There are sharp blind turns occasionally and some of the roads are too narrow for vehicles and bikes to pass all at the same time.  By slowing down you can have time to slow down to allow each other to pass in turn.  We will not be held liable for accidents occurring on the cool-down back to the park.  Check your brakes before the race.  Those with faulty brakes or not wearing helmets will not be allowed to sign up for the events.  You are still welcome to ride up and have refreshments but will not be included in the results or

prizes.  These rides have a good incline to prevent too close of drafting which will keep you safer (drafting will give you very little benefit in a power event like this).  If your child is prone to weaving back and forth and has a difficult time keeping to the right side of the road even when looking behind, it necessary to have an adult ride to the right of the child to prevent them from veering into cars that may come around a blind turn.  There are occasionally fallen rocks on the road, so use caution especially on the downhill.  We try to remove most of the large rocks and debris the day before each event but any debris that may be dropped the day of the event may still remain.  Hug the right side of the road closely and when you hear cars approaching put your arm out briefly to signal to them to give you enough space and encourage them to slow down.  We also have flags that you can attach to the left side of your bike that extend out to help drivers respect the 3' space law, and help them to see you sooner as they come around corners.
