Sixty racers powered up the 6.2-mile, 1,420-foot Clarks Road hill climb Wednesday, the first of three Arctic Bicycle Club events happening in a one-week span.
Racing continues Saturday with a time trial at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and Wednesday with a criterium at Kulis Air Park.
The JBER race is open only to those who have a military ID or who have already filled out a pre-clearance form online to get onto the base. That goes for spectators too.
