The following is a brief description from the Higher Ground 100 Event promoter:
Welcome to Higher Ground, a non-UCI semi-competative cycling event, where the race is you against yourself. We believe that the outdoors will save Johnstown, and wanted to host a cycling event to bring more people to town. We will be giving $10 from each ticket to our local YWCA, and paying our friends and vendors for their wares.
Now about the routes. We have five different routes available for your enjoyment. They are 10mi, 30mi, 50mi, 69mi, and the full Hundo. They all start and end at Hope Cyclery 647 Railroad Street, Johnstown, Pa 15901. You ascend out of the city and are on dirt in under 3 miles. From there all of the routes are a mix of pavement, dirt roads, and ripping gravel descents. . . .
Please see the Higher Ground 100 Event registration page for more.
