See how fast you can pedal up George Street, a two-block quad-buster that was a training ground for 1899 world champion Major Taylor.

It's one rider at a time against the clock in this steep uphill time trial in downtown Worcester, presented by Landry's Bicycles and the Seven Hills Wheelmen.

The distance is 500 feet, and the average grade is 18 percent. The contest is open to riders age 12 and up. Helmets are required. Proceeds benefit the Major Taylor Association, Inc.




Registration is closed.
$20 per rider


BIKE RAFFLE! We gave away a Giant Escape 2 Disc bike from Landry's Bicycles and other cool stuff in a prize drawing July 23 at the conclusion of the race. Proceeds benefit the Major Taylor Association. Click here to see the complete prize list and the winners.
