Sunday, April 15, will be the 8th and final stage of the Spring Stage Race, as racers will participate in the Rocky Road Race. The event, also known as the "Peace View Pain Fest" was created back in 2008, and features a 38 km Rocky Road route, including a steep 9 km climb. The event finishes with a pure adrenaline rush, as riders must brave a 75 km per hour downhill rush to cross the finish line.

The event will also feature a much more calm 20 km pavement only route.

Sunday’s race time begins at 1:30 p.m. and for more information on the event, or the Blizzard Bike Club, visit the Club’s official website.
