Red Bull’s “Bay Climb”: Insanely-Steep Uphill Bike Battle | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

There’s nothing more exciting in the world of cycling than that last mad dash to the finish line, the all-out leg clobbering final push that separates the meek from the mighty.

Red Bull Bay Climb is a straight line sprint up the historic, near vertical Potrero Hill in San Francisco that promises to deliver those end-of-race moments for all involved.

San Francisco is home to some of the steepest streets on the West Coast and brave competitors will face a .32-mile sprint up vertical grades, the steepest topping out at 20.62%.
