47th Mike’s Bikes Cat’s Hill Classic
The San Jose Bicycle Club will hold the 48th Mike’s Bikes Cat’s Hill Classic bicycle race in Los Gatos on March 23.
The event is known for its 23% grade climb—just a couple blocks from N. Santa Cruz Avenue.
The Cat’s Hill Classic is a particular type of race called a criterium (or just “crit”), where racers zoom around a short loop multiple times in a given time period. This means the racers will pass by spectators every few minutes.
