2008 RASC Time Trials
Looks like it's getting close to that time of year again. I like to call it lactic burn time. It's time for the RASC fall time trial series. Looks like this year is gonna be a little different.
RASC TT's to begin August 5th, Tuesday.
The 20 mile loop will be the same route as Treadman Duathlon course. The first three Tuesdays of August (Aug 5, Aug 12, Aug 19) will be on this course. The final TT will be a short 3.39 mile Hill TT which starts at the Douglas trail where it crosses in Douglas to the top of Genoa Hill at CR 105. This TT will be on Aug 26.
The results will be scored as follows: everyone can race all three days for the 20 mile loop and one attempt at the Hill TT. Your two best from the 20 miler added to your Hill TT will give your resulting time. Start times will be 6pm and go off in 30 second intervals. Vehicle parking in Douglas at the Douglas Trail lot on 75th.
Not sure if there will be awards, prizes, drawings, etc, but you will have bragging rights.
Tentatively, the divisions will Aero Men, Stock Men, Women Open. We might add an Aero Women division if the attendance can support it. For Men, any addition to you/your stock bike puts you in the Aero division (helmet, disc wheel, aero bars).
Volunteers are needed for timing the races--especially for August 12th and 26th. If you are racing, it's also a good idea to have a working cycle computer as a back up.
RASC Message Board
I think I'll do the Stock division again (I don't have any aero equipment anyway). If you want, you can use the search field to the right and search for RASC and read about last years time trials.
