ExtremeRoad.com presents the

2011 K-W Classic Road Race

One of the most popular road circuits in Ontario, the classic Hidden Valley loop is the venue once again for the 24th annual edition of this venerable race.

The 2011 version of the K-W Classic takes place on a new extended 6.5 km course featuring some challenging terrain including the infamous S-curve into the final corner. The course is full of excellent vantage points to watch if you're spectating or taking pictures.

Riders descend a high-speed 700m downhill section, negotiating one corner along the way, then ascend two torturous climbs per lap with the main climb featuring a short but extra steep sting near the very top.

NEW for 2011: Extended 6.5 km course, using brand new Wabanaki Dr pavement.
NEW for 2011: New parking location; large paved lot close to registration.
NEW for 2011: Feed Zone location will be closer to registration.
NEW for 2011: Pre-registration is required. You may pre-register on-line.
See below for details.
