I just noticed this in the members area on GCCfla.org (maybe I missed the email about it) is there anyone planning to ride that have not RSVP'd yet?
Maybe we can ride out together?? ~JW

About the 2012 Gainesville TT Challenge
The TT Challenge is a 9.3 mile out and back time trial. It is open to anyone that rides a bicycle. During the series, an Individual Time Trial will be held once a month until the end of the series in September. We will record your times and at the end of each event the results will be published. At the end of the series we will announce the results of the best times, best averages, and course record. The overall winner in each category will be given a handy certificate signifying that they got an official "Atta Boy (or Girl!)", nothing else.
There will be three categories for the challenge:
Aero -- This can be a road bike with clip-on aerobars, or a TT bike, aero helmet, and skin suit.
Merckx -- Road bike only, no clip-on's, no aero helmets, no skinsuits, no wheels deeper than 30mm (I WILL have a ruler with me, maybe)
Anything Goes -- This is for anything that is pedal driven. Trikes, recumbents, what-have you. If you can pedal it, you can enter it. Several groups of people have asked about a Team Time Trial division, so this is it -- four riders maximum, time ends on the third rider to cross the finish line.
There will also be an optional fourth category, "I want to ride a time trial, but I don't want anyone to know my official time". We will not record your time if you're in this category.
* - and of course, bragging rights..
** - Please note, you can meet us in Brooker if you like, but it is your responsibility to be at the starting line when we're assigning start order. If you show up to the start line AFTER people have started, you will not be allowed to compete -- the volunteers helping to run the TT this weekend have made it very clear that they have other plans immediately after the event, so do them a favor and please be on time.
*** - Please note, if you park at the start/finish line, you will be asked to leave and park somewhere else, then come back.
