About the Race:

The toughest race in south Texas

It is time for the Eleventh annual Coldspring race, this time sponsored by Medical Colleagues of Texas.

This race features a 16 mile loop which riders get to do multiple times during the race. As you can see from the race profile three or so miles of the loop is quite hilly and will help to separate the fields into those ready for the hills and those who need more training. the finish line is at the top of a hill and favors the climbers rather than sprinters.
