NorthBeast Cycling Classic p/b Piedmont University

New reversed direction Criterium will be way easier and smoother than last year. We listened and riders wanted it a bit easier so the new clockwise direction will fix that.
New Road Race courses. Thats right 2 courses, Long and Short. Long course will be ONLY for Men and Women Collegiate A, Pro 1-3 Men and Masters 40+/50+.  

Both maps are on our website.  The short course is just under 4 miles long with a couple of short climbs. Only one is small chainring, but maybe large ring on raceday.
The long course features a gravel ¾ mile climb just like you'd see in Strada Bianchi or other famous Euro races.  Its not steep at only 5.5% Avg Grade. And the road is very hard packed tree covered and not dusty at this time of year.  
This course is tough for sure and won't be a sprinters delight but when the skinny guys try to escape on the climb they can get brought back on the long fast downhill.  Test your comfort zone and try something challenging and not easy.
