STAGE 1 - MT ALUTOM HILL CLIMB / Sept 4th
Meeting area: Piti, along the road near the Veterans Cemetary.

Meeting area: Towards cliff line overlooking Tumon. Enter the road across the Micronesian mall and then turn left at the next road. Head towards the cliffline.
Course: The course is a shortened version of the Two Lovers Point Bike/Hike Trail. Due to extensive vegetative growth, we are cutting the course by half. Once you hit the road towards Tanguissan Beach, we will turn right on the road and proceed towards the start. We will then turn left towards the sewage pump station and connect back onto the trail. We will do 3 laps.
STAGE 3 - RITIDIAN POINT HILL CLIMB / Sept 25th
Meeting area: Go towards the Ritidian Point Park. We will meet at the top of the hill just before the road drops down to the park.
Course: Begin at the park or the park gate and climb to the top!
STAGE 4 - RITIDIAN TIME TRIAL / Sept 25th
Immediately after the hill climb, we begin the time trial race.
Course: Approximately 9-10 mile flat course along road towards Ritidian Point.
STAGE 5 - DEDEDO PIT CRITERIUM / Oct 2nd
Meeting area: Dededo Pit on Santa Barbara Road near Wettengale School. The "Pit" is the ponding basin across the street.
Course: Five laps around the Dededo "Pit". Very short laps. Each division will have their own heat.
