On Sunday, March 18 th, the team will open up their doors to open racers in our classic road race course, featuring the infamous KOA hill.

Featuring four fast 90 turns, a technical U-turn and a light cobble section at the start/finish, the course will surely push the limits of all riders physical and technical abilities.
