44th Mike's Bikes Cat's Hill Classic Bicycle Race – April 29, 2017
The 44th Cat’s Hill Bicycle Race, sponsored by the non-profit Los Gatos Bicycle Racing Club and Mikes Bikes, will be held Saturday April 29 in the Almond Grove area of Los Gatos. The mile-long course starts at Tait and Nicholson Avenues near Mikes Bikes, rounds to Bean, Massol, then features a 23% grade up Nicholson Avenue, goes around Bachman Park, followed by a fast downhill (~50 mph!) and right turn, back to the start/finish on Tait Avenue. Races for various levels and ages start at 9:20 am and finish after 6:00 pm. Some racers climb up Nicholson as many as 30 times during their race. The Cat’s Hill Classic was started in 1974 by 1960 US Olympic competitor and Los Gatos teacher Bob Tetzlaff with his wife Lorine who dubbed Nicholson Avenue “Cat’s Hill”, a designation that remains till this day.

A Kid’s Fun Ride will take place at 12:30 PM. The ride will be divided into two age groups: ages 6 and younger, and ages 7 through 9 years. The kids will get the thrill of crossing the official finish line on Tait and Nicholson Avenues, with applause and official race announcements. All participants will receive medals in this fun race.Video
