Testarossa Vineyards and The Los Gatos Bicycle Racing Club will host the Cat’s Hill Classic on Saturday.
This legendary cycling race is nationally known for its challenging Cat’s Hill climb up Nicholson Avenue in the charming village of Los Gatos.
This year for the first time, spectators and racers are invited to park their cars one mile up the College Avenue hill at the Testarossa Vineyards event parking area, and be treated to a free cable-car shuttle ride to and from the race course.
The free shuttle will run every 20 minutes starting at 10 am, until after the final race podium ceremony ends in the late afternoon. Driving directions to Testarossa Vineyards can be found at testarossavineyards.com.
Information about the Cat’s Hill Classic is at catshill.org. Guests at the Testarossa Vineyards, named 2004 Winery of the Year by Restaurant Wine Magazine, will also be offered the opportunity to sample the award-winning wine from this historic vineyard.
Race spectators will be offered coupons for a free wine-tasting the day of the race in the Testarossa Vineyards Wine Cellar.
The Los Gatos Bicycle Racing Club, recently named the number one cycling club in the US, has presented the Cat’s Hill Classic Bicycle Race continuously since 1974.
The grueling Cat’s Hill climb has challenged the likes of Greg LeMond (winner in 1978), and others. More than 700 amateur and professional riders are expected to compete on the demanding one-mile course..
