Course was the usual from beginning of bike lane at the bottom to sign and flashing light at the top. About 1.4 miles and 400 feet of climbing. Weather was cloudy and humid, with moderate sunshine and warmth and average wind. Click here for event flyer.

The course record was broken twice. In the time trial Blair Atwell bested the previous record by Carl Yee of 7:26.7 by half a second, registering a 7:26.2. The record fell in the handicapped race as Josh turned in a 7:22.1. It may be noted that while conditions may be substantially different between the time trial and the handicapped race the course record may be set in either race. However, timings have not been consistently captured over all editions of the handicapped race due to the closeness of some finishes. However, in this race the timekeeper judged that times had been accurately captured for both races and Josh was credited with a new record. Despite setting a course record Josh did not win any award, losing the time trial to Atwell's record-breaking performance and losing the handicapped race to McCormick.
