On June 26th, competitors for this year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb will once again race to the clouds in hopes of breaking the elusive ten-minute mark, but the famous mountain might have something to say about that. Three inches of snow fell on the summit yesterday, with temperatures just above freezing. Fortunately, the weather for race day looks to be more conducive to racing, although the elements in Colorado at 14,000 feet are famously unpredictable. "It's really the mountain that decides what happens," says Race Director Phil Layton.
