Rising 4000 feet from the floor of the Roanoke Valley in Virginia, Poor Mountain dominates the surrounding landscape and is a long time favorite climb of local mountain bikers. Past winners include 2002 U.S. Road Racing Champion Scottie Weiss, World Class Mountain Biker Jeremiah Bishop, 2003 24 Hours of Moab Solo Women's Champion Trish Stevenson, and World's Mountain Biker Susan Haywood.
The actual 6-3/4 mile climb ascends 3000 vertical feet with up to 17 percent grades. Last year it was Jeremiah Bishop who took home his 4th Poor Mountain HillClimb Championship, setting a new course record of 37 minutes 16 seconds. (Or climbing at an average speed of 10.9 mph.) Jeremiah didn't compete this year.
