Summer Time Trial Series - Douglas

Location:  Douglas, MN - meet at Douglas Trail parking lot (Olmsted CR14/75th St.) in Douglas

Dates:  Tuesdays in August: 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th, 2012

Course:  This is an easy course (to remember)!  From the start near the trail, you will go west and make 4 right turns all of which are at the first stop sign you come to and all of which are the only paved road you will come to on your right:

  1. After starting out and going up the hill in Genoa, continue to the first stop sign and turn right onto CR5.
  2. Continue on CR5 toward Pine Island and turn right at the first stop sign (a T intersection) onto CR3.
  3. Continue on CR3 and turn right at the first stop sign. (another T intersection)  This is still CR3.
  4. Continue on CR3 toward Douglas and turn right at the first stop sign. (yet another T intersection)  This puts you back on CR14 and very near the finish.  The finish is a few hundred yards before the start line to avoid crossing the Douglas Trail.

Important Info:

  • All abilities are welcome.  You can ride any type of bike you want.  We will break out results based on aero vs stock bikes.  (Any of the following will be considered aero, others are stock:  aero bars, aero wheels, aero helmet.)  For more information on time trialing, check out this article on our time trial series.
  • There is no charge for the time trial.  The only requirement is that you are a TriRochester, VeloRochester, or RASC member.
  • You must have a signed TriRochester waiver on file for the current year.  If you don't, you can print one and bring it with you.
  • The TT will be self-seeded.  The faster you plan to go, the further back you should start.
  • Riders will be started at 30 second intervals.  When waiting to start, stay out of the road  and do not block traffic.  Also make sure you are not blocking the the Douglas Trail crossing.
  • This is a group workout on OPEN roads, not an organized race.  You must share the road with vehicle traffic and be responsible for your own safety.
  • No drafting,
  • If you are overtaking another rider, only pass on their left.
  • CAUTION Points:  There is no shoulder on CR14.  Please stay to the right, but be careful not to cross the white line.  CR5 and the first half of CR3 (before the 3rd turn) have very good shoulders.  Please use them.  After the 3rd turn, CR3 has rumble strips on the shoulder.  At the final right turn, be cautious.  Traffic on CR14 will have a bit of a hard time seeing you and they have the right-of-way.
