Porky Gulch Classic On Tap for the Weekend

Pinkham Notch, NH—On Saturday and Sunday, November 3 & 4, Great Glen Trails hosts the Porky Gulch Classic Stage Race, a three-stage, two-day cycling races that challenges cyclists in three distinct disciplines. The champion can claim the title of Best All Around Cyclist in New England.

The first stage of the Porky Gulch Classic is the Toughest Two, a two-mile hillclimb up the Mt. Washington Auto Road, home of the toughest hillclimbs in the world. In the afternoon, the competition shifts to Story Land in Glen for the Story Land Criterium as cyclists race through the famous amusement park. Sunday morning, the action heads back to Great Glen Trails for the cyclocross portion. Cyclocross is a fall and early winter form of bike racing that combines elements of mountain biking, road cycling and cross country running—with some steeplechase mixed in for good measure.

Points are awarded based on finish order in each event. The cyclist with the most combined points after the three events is declared the champion
