The terrain really isn’t as tough as it looks on the above elevation profile — the HCRH was built with no grades exceeding 5%. When you encounter a hill, just ‘gear down’, take it one pedal stroke at a time, and remember that it’s taking you to a view even nicer than the ones on the way up!
Online registration is the only advance registration method.
