Wintergreen : Ascent Bicycle Race Held Saturday
REFRESH Nelson County Life Magazine HERE for the latest updates.
Early in the month of May each year, cyclists take to the mountains of Wintergreen and make the beautiful, but challenging ride to the top as part of the Wintergreen Ascent sponsored by The Charlottesville Racing Club. The pleasant 6.75 mile climb gains 2,626ft up to the summit of Wintergreen, at an average grade of 7.5% with maximum grades of 20%. Winners received medals from Virginia Cycling This Saturday was a fantastic day for the race and Paul Purpura was there to capture these beautiful shots! Paul covered the event for us back in 2007 as well. You can find all of the race results by clicking here via CRC.
