PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR A TIME TRIAL SERIES IN EAGLE

Here is the scoop for a proposed TT series which will be in Eagle.

It will be run as a "club" event and will be a free "fun" event

There will be no race categories or prizes.

This event will be used as a training device for those of you who wish to participate. The goal will be to improve your own personal time from week to week racing against the clock.

The course will start at the new stop sign where Brush Creek Road meets the new Eagle Ranch cutoff road and will end either at the Sylvan Lake State Park parking area or the top of the hill inside Adams Rib Golf course property if we can get permission from them.

The lead rider will start at a specific time (most likely me), probably 6:30, and following riders will leave at one minute intervals. The lead rider will be responsible for marking finishing times for ALL riders at which time we can determine finish times by knowing when they started.

Once everyone has finished, we all ride back to Eagle and drink beer.

We will do these rides every other Monday evening starting in April, we will alternate weeks so this takes place on the off weeks from the Vail Rec series mtb races. Please post comments to let me know what you think.

EVERY RIDER WILL BE EXPECTED TO RIDE RESPONSIBLY AND MUST BE AN AMBASSADOR TO OUR SPORT, WHICH MEANS NO FLIPPING OFF BUTT HEAD MOTORISTS AND RIDING AS CLOSE TO THE SHOULDER AS IS COMFORTABLE, THAT GOES FOR ME AS WELL.

WE WILL POST A SANDWHICH BOARD AT THE START AREA WHICH LETS MOTORISTS KNOW THERE IS A "RACE" GOING ON AHEAD OF THEM.

It would be great to see EVERYONE participate, throw away your shop affiliations for an eve of riding "against the clock" and against your own best time because....

IT'S THE RACE OF TRUTH WITH NO WHERE TO HIDE.
