ExtremeRoad.com presents the
  
2009 K-W Classic Road Race

One of the most popular road circuits in Ontario, the classic Hidden Valley loop is the venue once again for the 22nd annual edition of this venerable race.

The 2009 version of the K-W Classic takes place on the original scenic 4.6 km loop featuring some challenging terrain including the infamous S-curve into the final corner. The course is full of excellent vantage points to watch if you're spectating or taking pictures.

Riders descend a high-speed 700m downhill section, negotiating one corner along the way, then ascend two torturous climbs per lap with the main climb featuring a short but extra steep sting near the very top.

Entry-level riders 19+ can choose Senior 4 Men while entry-level riders 35+ can choose Master 3 Men.
