How to win an Audi A4

[Steve Brehm <sbrehm@sover.net>]

In the latest issue of VeloNews there's an article about the Mt Washington hillclimb, on bikes that is. it's held every year in Aug/Sept (Aug 23 this year). Lately the quality of the field has declined, so to lure better riders this year they are offering a special prize to the person who breaks the course record (57:41); a new A4!  Audi is partially sponsoring the event, and the organizers have purchased an insurance policy to cover the cost of the car if someone breaks the record. I've done the race twice and come nowhere near the record (my best was 1:10:00). The record is a good one, but I think if a truly great cyclist (most any world class rider) were to race he'd get the record. 

I 'm afraid the only way I'd get the record would be to get towed behind a Quattro!
