Via a cooperative arrangement with Pen Velo, those doing the Mount San Bruno Hillclimb on the New Year get $5 off their entry fee if they do at least five of the first nine Low-Key Hillclimbs! San Bruno is a blast, and a great chance to meet some of the USCF riders who don't come out for the Low-Keys.
Coordinators: please check this out before the climb.
