July 2, 2004 – ExtremeRoad.com is pleased to present the first annual
Conestoga Road Race on Sunday July 4, 2004 at St. Clements, Ontario, just
north of Waterloo. This brand new race course follows a rolling 9.6 km
three corner circuit featuring two climbs per lap including the (in)famous
Hawkesville Hill ascent. The final series of climbs over the last four km
will make for an exciting finish for both riders and spectators.

This course is an exceptionally challenging and popular circuit with local
cyclists for both training and touring. With an extra-wide paved shoulder
all the way up both sides of the climb and continuing over a stretch of one
km past the peak and around the wide sweeping curve, the course has plenty
of room in the most critical areas. There is even a paved shoulder on the
outside of the final corner leading into a tough 300m climb to the finish.
The schedule includes a full slate of categories with race distances based
on the Ontario Cup standard. Registration will take place at St. Clements
Arena and includes access to change rooms and showers along with a
concession stand and plenty of parking.
