Whiteface Race

[Porter19]

I was wondering if anyone has done the race up Whiteface Mountain in New
York. This will be my first year, and was wondering if there is anything I should know about the pace of this 8 mile, 3000 ft climbing race? I am 25, and will probably have my ass handed to me.....

I haven't done that race but I have raced up Whiteface twice -- both times at the end of a road race of about 75 miles. In both cases it took me about an hour and I was in 38 or 39 x23 almost the whole time.
I know the winner of the race one year did it in about 45 minutes mainly in 42x21. He was a pro who had ridden some grand tours -- I was just a cat 2 off the back guy.

I am surprised that that webpage calls it Whiteface Mountain as I have mainly heard people refer to it as just "Whiteface."
