Cherry Tops '08 : The race starts in Nelson at the Sacred Ride, climbs up to the top of Pulmonary then plunges down to Highway 3. All you cowpokes will then head up Marsden Road and keep pedaling 23 kms until you get up to Baldface Lodge, elevation 6,750 feet. It doesn't end there cause it's a final grueling push up to Cherry Tops, elevation 7,200 feet. After a breath-catching and breath-taking moment it's time to switch ‘er over to downhill mode. Competitors will start their flight down “the meadow trail”, Lower Swamp Donkey, and pedal up 4 kms to Shannon Pass. Then it's down to Kootenay Lake via the Shannon Pass trail and to Johnstone Park along highway 3. Whew! Yes, you read that right … we're talking about 6,000 vertical feet and almost 60 km!
